Abstract: We prove several results giving lower bounds for the large cardinal strength of a failure of the singular cardinal hypothesis. The main result is the following theorem: Theorem: Suppose kappa is a singular strong limit cardinal and 2kappa>=lambda where lambda is not the successor of a cardinal of cofinality at most kappa. (i) If cofinality(kappa)>gw then o(kappa)gelambda. (ii) If cofinality(kappa)=gw then either o(kappa)gelambda or setga:Ksato(ga)gega+n is cofinal in kappa for each ningw. In order to prove this theorem we give a detailed analysis of the sequences of indiscernibles which come from applying the covering lemma to nonoverlapping sequences of extenders.
