A forcing axiom for a non-special Aronszajn tree

Logic 2020-04-28 v2

Abstract

Suppose that TT^* is an ω1\omega_1-Aronszajn tree with no stationary antichain. We introduce a forcing axiom PFA(TT^*) for proper forcings which preserve these properties of TT^*. We prove that PFA(TT^*) implies many of the strong consequences of PFA, such as the failure of very weak club guessing, that all of the cardinal characteristics of the continuum are greater than ω1\omega_1, and the PP-ideal dichotomy. On the other hand, PFA(TT^*) implies some of the consequences of diamond principles, such as the existence of Knaster forcings which are not stationarily Knaster.
