Sheva-sheva-sheva: large creatures (Q995389): Difference between revisions

A natural set-theoretical question is ``can we do for some/all uncountable cardinals what we can do for~\(\aleph_0\)?'' This begs the question what we actually can do for~\(\aleph_0\). The authors choose to concentrate on analogues of cardinal characteristics of the continuum and offer tools much like those developed by them in [Norms on possibilities. I: Forcing with trees and creatures. Mem. Am. Math. Soc. 671 (1999; Zbl 0940.03059)]. These occupy the second part of the paper; the first part defines and studies a version of properness for uncountable~\(\lambda\) together with Sacks-like and \({}^\lambda\lambda\)-bounding properties as well as their preservation under iterations with supports of size at most~\(\lambda\).
