Axiom $\mathcal{A}$ and supercompactness

Logic 2024-06-19 v1

Abstract

We produce a model where every supercompact cardinal is C(1)C^{(1)}-supercompact with inaccessible targets. This is a significant improvement of the main identity-crises configuration obtained in \cite{HMP} and provides a definitive answer to a question of Bagaria \cite[p.19]{Bag}. This configuration is a consequence of a new axiom we introduce -- called A\mathcal{A} -- which is showed to be compatible with Woodin's I0I_0 cardinals. We also answer a question of V. Gitman and G. Goldberg on the relationship between supercompactness and cardinal-preserving extendibility. As an incidental result, we prove a theorem suggesting that supercompactness is the strongest large-cardinal notion preserved by Radin forcing.
