May 5, 2014 at 21:45 comment added Todd Eisworth The question of whether SCC implies Namba semiproperness seems interesting, though, and not unreasonable!
May 5, 2014 at 21:39 comment added Philip Welch @Todd, Martin: V. sorry to be misleading, I should have written ``shown to be implied by the semiproperness of Namba..." in my comment. I don't know that SCC and semiproperness of Namba are equivalent. Mea culpa. So it looks like we only know that both semi-properness of Namba and SCC are somewhere between measurability and ramseyness?
May 5, 2014 at 0:50 comment added Todd Eisworth Philip: I know he shows that the strong Chang conjecture is a consequence of Namba semimproperness in Theorem XII.2.5 of the book. Is SCC actually equivalent?
May 4, 2014 at 11:34 comment added Goldstern Theorem 2.2. in "PIF" says that Namba is semiproper (equivalently: there is some semiproper forcing changing $cf(\omega_2^V)$ to $\omega$) iff player II has a winning strategy in this game: In step $n$, Player I chooses a function $F_n:\omega_2\to \omega_1$, and Player II replies with a value $i_n<\omega_1$. In the end, let $i_\infty:=\sup\{i_n:n \in \omega\}$. Player II wins iff the set $\{\, t\in \omega_2: \sup\{ F_n(t):n\in\omega\}\le i_\infty\,\}$ is unbounded.
May 4, 2014 at 7:04 comment added Philip Welch In: "Greatly Erdős cardinals with some generalizations to the Chang and Ramsey properties" APAL,Vol 162,2011 Ian Sharpe and I show that the Strong Chang Conj. (shown equiv. to the semiproperness of Namba by Shelah in his book) implies the consistency of a Ramsey cardinal. So somewhere between measurability and Ramsey...
