Abstract: There are several examples in the literature showing that compactness-like properties of a cardinal kappa cause poor behavior of some generic ultrapowers which have critical point kappa (Burke cite{MR1472122} when kappa is a supercompact cardinal; Foreman-Magidor cite{MR1359154} when kappa=omega2 in the presence of strong forcing axioms). We prove more instances of this phenomenon. First, the Reflection Principle (RP) implies that if vecmathcalI is a tower of ideals which concentrates on the class GIComega1 of omega1-guessing, internally club sets, then vecmathcalI is not presaturated (a set is omega1-guessing iff its transitive collapse has the omega1-approximation property as defined in Hamkins cite{MR2540935}). This theorem, combined with work from cite{VW_ISP}, shows that if PFA+ or MM holds and there is an inaccessible cardinal, then there is a tower with critical point omega2 which is not presaturated; moreover this tower is significantly different from the non-presaturated tower already known (by Foreman-Magidor cite{MR1359154}) to exist in all models of Martin's Maximum. The conjunction of the Strong Reflection Principle (SRP) and the Tree Property at omega2 has similar implications for towers of ideals which concentrate on the wider class GISomega1 of omega1-guessing, internally stationary sets. Finally, we show that the word "presaturated" cannot be replaced by "precipitous" in the theorems above: Martin's Maximum (which implies SRP and the Tree Property at omega2) is consistent with a precipitous tower on GIComega1.
