On a class of maximality principles

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: We study various classes of maximality principles, mMP(kappa,Gamma), introduced by J.D. Hamkins, where Gamma defines a class of forcing posets and kappa is a cardinal. We explore the consistency strength and the relationship of extsfMP(kappa,Gamma) with various forcing axioms when kappainomega,omega1. In particular, we give a characterization of bounded forcing axioms for a class of forcings Gamma in terms of maximality principles MP(omega1,Gamma) for Sigma1 formulas. A significant part of the paper is devoted to studying the principle MP(kappa,Gamma) where kappainomega,omega1 and Gamma defines the class of stationary set preserving forcings. We show that MP(kappa,Gamma) has high consistency strength; on the other hand, if Gamma defines the class of proper forcings or semi-proper forcings, then by Hamkins, it is shown that MP(kappa,Gamma) is consistent relative to V=L.
