Iteration of $\aleph_2$-properness

Let us say a forcing $P$ is proper for a class of models $\mathcal C$, if for large enough regular $\theta$ and $M \prec H_\theta$ in $\mathcal C$ with $P \in M$, every $p \in P \cap M$ can be extende …

Algebraic structures on spaces of ultrafilters

The space of ultrafilters on $\omega$ has a natural semigroup structure, and ultrafilters that are idempotent in that algebra have seen applications in combinatorics on the natural numbers, for exampl …

Ultrafilter projections and critical points of factor maps

Suppose $j : V \to M$ is $\lambda$-supercompactness embedding derived from an $\kappa$-complete normal ultrafilter $U$ on $P_\kappa(\lambda)$, $\lambda$ regular. Suppose $\eta$ is an ordinal such tha …

Natural set-theoretic principles implying the Ground Axiom

The Ground Axiom states that the set-theoretic universe is not a set-forcing extension of an inner model. By Reitz, it is first-order expressible and easy to force over any given ZFC model with class …

Interest in the size of ultrapowers in model theory

It seems that in the 60s (at least), there was interest in computing the size of ultrapowers by countably incomplete ultrafilters. For example, given an ultrafilter $U$ on some relatively small set l …

Countable closure of quotient forcing

Let us say that a partial order is "countably closed with infima" if every descending $\omega$-sequence has an infimum. Suppose $P$ and $Q$ are posets that are countably closed with infima, and for so …

Amoeba collapse

Here is a naive idea for a forcing $\mathbb A(\kappa)$, for an inaccessible cardinal $\kappa$. Conditions are pairs $(P,p)$, where $P \in V_\kappa$ is a partial order and $p \in P$. We define the or …

Strategic vs. tactical closure

The Banach-Mazur game on a poset $\mathbb P$ is the $\omega$-length game where the players alternate choosing a descending sequence $a_0 \geq b_0 \geq a_1 \geq b_1 \geq \dots$. Player II wins when th …

Preservation of stationary sets by Mitchell forcing quotients

It is well-known that Mitchell's forcing $\mathbb M$ for the tree property at $\omega_2$, which turns a weakly compact $\kappa$ into $\omega_2$ while adding many reals, is a projection of adding $\kap …

Preservation of projective stationarity

A set $S \subseteq [\kappa]^\omega$ is called projective stationary if for every stationary $A \subseteq \omega_1$, and every algebra $F : \kappa^{<\omega}\to\kappa$, there is $z\in S$ such that $z$ i …

Is there a relationship between the $\Omega$-conjecture and choiceless large cardinals?

Woodin’s $\Omega$-conjecture is absolute under set-forcing. One proposal to decide it is that some large cardinal hypothesis might refute it. On the other hand, Woodin is seeking extensions of the inn …

Veličković's model game

This question is about the argument for Lemma 3.7 in Forcing axioms and stationary sets (MSN) by Boban Veličković. He defines a game $G_\alpha$ between two players, playing objects in $H_\kappa$, depe …

Non-closed Neeman forcing

This question is something of a follow-up to this one: Iterating Neeman's forcing It regards the work of Itay Neeman, MR3201836. Neeman formulates his two-type models forcing seemingly in greater gene …

Countably closed end-extensions of elementary submodels

The following is well-known. If $\kappa$ is measurable, $\theta > \kappa$, and $M \prec V_\theta$ has size $<\kappa$, then there is $N\prec V_\theta$ such that $N \supseteq M$, $M \cap \kappa \not= N …

Extension of a sequence of complete embeddings

Suppose for $\langle P_i : i < \omega \rangle$ is a sequence of countably closed partial orders. Suppose for each $n$, there is a complete embedding $$e_n : \prod_{i<n} P_i \to B(Q),$$ where $Q$ is co …
