The Parovichenko cardinal, is it equal to $\max\{\aleph_2,\mathfrak p\}$?
These two results yield the inequality $\mathfrak P\ge\max\{\aleph_2,\mathfrak p\}$.
So, under CH we have $\mathfrak P=\aleph_2>\mathfrak c=\mathfrak p=\aleph_1$. … Is it consistent that $\mathfrak P>\max\{\aleph_2,\mathfrak p\}$? …

Countable support iterations of proper forcings with fusion (axiom A), that make $\mathfrak{...
What are some proper forcing notions with fusion (satisfying axiom A but not countably closed), which when iterated $\aleph_2$ times with countable support, preserve cardinals and make $\mathfrak{p}=\aleph … For example, the prototypical such forcing, if in the above we replace $\mathfrak{p}$ with:
$\mathfrak{b}$, we get Laver forcing,
$\mathfrak{d}$, we get Miller forcing,
$\mathfrak{c}$, we get Sacks …
