Extender-based Radin forcing

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We define extender sequences, generelizing measure sequences from Radin Forcing. Using the extender sequences we combine Gitik-Magidor forcing for adding many Prikry sequences with Radin forcing. This forcing satisfies Prikry like condition, destroys no cardinals, and has a kind of properness. Depending on the large cardinal we start with, this forcing can blow the power of a cardinal together with changing its' cofinality to a prescribe value. If this prescribed value is the cardinal itself then it remains regular and even can remain measurable.


Readers are expected to be familiar with forcing and extenders and the basic properties of Radin forcing. The author uses extender sequences to show how one can combine Gitik-Magidor forcing for adding many Prikry sequences with Radin forcing. The resulting forcing is shown to satisfy a Prikry-like condition and to destroy no cardinals. It also has a certain kind of properness. From the author's abstract: ``Depending on the large cardinals we start with, this forcing can blow [up] the power of a cardinal together with changing its cofinality to a prescribed value. It can even blow [up] the power of a cardinal while keeping it regular or measurable.
