A Rigid Kurepa Tree From a Free Suslin Tree

Logic 2025-09-17 v2

Abstract

We analyze a countable support product of a free Suslin tree which turns it into a highly rigid Kurepa tree with no Aronszajn subtree. In the process, we introduce a new rigidity property for trees, which says roughly speaking that any non-trivial strictly increasing function from a section of the tree into itself maps into a cofinal branch.
