It was my first question I'm sorry if is not in the spirit of mathoverflow next time I will ask thing more precisely. If I should be more precise now I would say that initial motivation was the most important part of the question for me so that Stefan answer me. | |

| Nov 26, 2010 at 1:59 | comment | added | Haim | I believe that the initial motivations for proper forcing are well explained throughout Shelah's book. If you want a brief look at the evolution of the subject, a good place to start reading at is the "Proper forcing" chapter in the handbook of set theory (written by Uri Abraham). Regarding the open problems, you can check this paper: shelah.logic.at/files/666.pdf | |

You are asking us for something that could easily end up being a short paper if answered properly. Would you mind saying something about what you are looking for, where in the literature you have looked, that sort of thing? It may help us. | |

| Nov 26, 2010 at 0:32 | comment | added | Amit Kumar Gupta | Harrington once told me that Shelah called it proper forcing cause he thought that was the proper way to do forcing. | |
