Non-vanishing higher derived limits

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: In the study of strong homology Mardev{s}i'c and Prasolov isolated a certain inverse system of abelian groups mathbfA indexed by elements of omegaomega. They showed that if strong homology is additive on a class of spaces containing closed subsets of Euclidean spaces then the higher derived limits limnmathbfA must vanish, for n>0. They also proved that under the Continuum Hypothesis lim1mathbfAeq0. The question whether limnmathbfA vanishes, for n>0, has attracted considerable interest from set theorists. Dow, Simon and Vaughan showed that under PFA lim1mathbfA=0. Bergfalk show that it is consistent that lim2mathbfA does not vanish. Later Bergfalk and Lambie-Hanson showed that, modulo a weakly compact cardinal, it is relatively consistent with ZFC that limnmathbfA=0, for all n. The large cardinal assumption was recently removed by Bergfalk, Hruv{s}ak and Lambie-Henson. We complete the picture by showing that, for any n>0, it is relatively consistent with ZFC that limnmathbfAeq0.
