Rigid ideals

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: An ideal I on a cardinal kappa is called emph{rigid} if all automorphisms of P(kappa)/I are trivial. An ideal is called emph{mu-minimal} if whenever GsubseteqP(kappa)/I is generic and XinP(mu)V[G]setminusV, it follows that V[X]=V[G]. We prove that the existence of a rigid saturated mu-minimal ideal on mu+, where mu is a regular cardinal, is consistent relative to the existence of large cardinals. The existence of such an ideal implies that GCH fails. However, we show that the existence of a rigid saturated ideal on mu+, where mu is an emph{uncountable} regular cardinal, is consistent with GCH relative to the existence of an almost-huge cardinal. Addressing the case mu=omega, we show that the existence of a rigid emph{presaturated} ideal on omega1 is consistent with CH relative to the existence of an almost-huge cardinal. The existence of a emph{precipitous} rigid ideal on mu+ where mu is an uncountable regular cardinal is equiconsistent with the existence of a measurable cardinal.
