A uniform ultrafilter over a singular cardinal with a singular character (Q2226641)

A base of an ultrafilter \(U\) over an infinite cardinal \(\kappa\) is a subset \(W\subseteq U\) such that for every \(A\in U\) there is \(B\in W\) such that \(\vert B\setminus A\vert <\kappa\). The character of a uniform ultrafilter \(U\) is the cardinal number \(\operatorname{Ch}(U)=\min\{\vert W\vert :W\) is a base of \(U\}\). In this paper, the author continues the study of uniform ultrafilters over singular cardinals. He constructs a model with a uniform ultrafilter \(U\) over a singular strong limit cardinal \(\kappa\) such that \(\kappa<\operatorname{cof}(\operatorname{Ch}(U))<\operatorname{Ch}(U)<2^\kappa\). This answers a question from \textit{S. Garti} et al. [Acta Math. Hung. 160, No. 2, 320--336 (2020; Zbl 07200100)]. The construction of the model uses extenders and forcing.
