Jun 8, 2015 at 9:01 comment added Asaf Karagila @Avshalom: Considering the fact that until two minutes ago I have never heard on that paper, the answer is a solid "no". It seems interesting, and I'll take a look later. Thanks!
Jun 8, 2015 at 8:55 comment added Avshalom Have you considered the forcings in the paper by Todd Eisworth and Peter Nyikos? people.math.sc.edu/nyikos/antidi.pdf
Jun 3, 2015 at 13:27 comment added Asaf Karagila @saf: If you look at the edit history on Mohammad's answer, you'll see essentially the content of the now-deleted comment[s?], but in any case that is an interesting result!
Jun 3, 2015 at 13:13 comment added saf I am puzzled by Moahammad's comment, as Abraham and Todorcevic proved that in any model of GCH, there is a cardinal-preserving notion of forcing that adds no new reals and entails SH. see here: cs.bgu.ac.il/~abraham/papers/math/PartitionWithCH.ps
May 28, 2015 at 23:40 comment added Asaf Karagila @Avshalom: Yes, exactly. But since I'm (1) more comfortable with diamond; and (2) "How hard is it to destroy a club" would be ambiguous and less amusing! :-)
May 28, 2015 at 23:32 comment added Avshalom So it would be enough/necessary to preserve CH but force the failure of $\clubsuit$.
May 28, 2015 at 12:37 comment added Ashutosh In hindsight, Goldstern's comment was pretty relevant here.

May 27, 2015 at 11:34 comment added Asaf Karagila @Goldstern: That is true, but it blows up the continuum. And here we want to preserve $\sf CH$.
May 27, 2015 at 11:26 comment added Goldstern Shelah and Woodin showed how CH can be violated by adding a real in JSL 49:4 (1984). They give several examples; in one of them all cardinals are preserved. I do not know if ◊ holds in one of their ground models.
May 27, 2015 at 4:09 comment added Mohammad Golshani I meant we start with $L$ and add a new real
May 27, 2015 at 4:08 comment added Monroe Eskew @MohammadGolshani If $V=L$, then $L[r] = V = L$.
May 27, 2015 at 4:08 comment added Mohammad Golshani The answer to your question is no, if $V=L,$ as then for any real $r, L[r]\models \Diamond+CH.$
May 27, 2015 at 4:07 comment added Asaf Karagila @Monroe: I do not, that's a good question, probably easier to answer too. Can't you force a new subset to $\omega_1$ that fails to reflect somehow?

May 27, 2015 at 2:56 comment added Monroe Eskew Do you know the answer if we weaken $r \subseteq \omega$ to $r \subseteq \omega_1$?
May 26, 2015 at 19:51 comment added Asaf Karagila @Vidit: And not to mention those bloody diamonds, too! :-)
May 26, 2015 at 19:47 comment added Vidit Nanda I've upvoted in order to partially offset the inevitable backlash from environmentalists who react negatively to "blow up the continuum and destroy all the Suslin trees."
May 26, 2015 at 17:51 comment added Yair Hayut Jensen's forcing for $SH+CH$ forces the failure of diamond without collapsing cardinals or blowing up the continuum, but its generic is certainly not a real.
May 26, 2015 at 17:14 comment added Asaf Karagila Yes, a comment very worth mentioning!
May 26, 2015 at 17:12 comment added Will Brian Possibly worth mentioning: if $\mathbb{P}$ is ccc and $|\mathbb{P}| \leq \aleph_1$, then forcing with $\mathbb{P}$ preserves $\diamondsuit$ and CH. This is Exercise IV.7.58 in the newer set theory book by Kunen.
