Chang's conjecture may fail at supercompact cardinals (submitted)

Publication date 4 May 2006

Abstract: We prove a revised version of Laver's indestructibility theorem which slightly improves over the classical result. An application yields the consistency of

(k a p p a^{+}, k a p p a) o t c c (a l e p h_{1}, a l e p h_{0})

when

k a p p a

is supercompact. The actual proofs show that

o m e g a_{1}

-regressive Kurepa-trees are consistent above a supercompact cardinal even though

m M M

destroys them on all regular cardinals. This rather paradoxical fact contradicts the common intuition.
