Abstract

Assuming the consistency of a weakly compact cardinal above a regular uncountable cardinal μ\mu, we prove the consistency of the existence of a wide μ+\mu^+-Aronszajn tree, i.e. a tree of height and cardinality μ+\mu^+ with no branches of length μ+\mu^+, into which every wide μ+\mu^+-Aronszajn tree can be embedded.
