Changing the Heights of Automorphism Towers by Forcing with Souslin Trees over L

Logic 2007-05-23 v1 Group Theory

Abstract

We prove that there are groups in the constructible universe whose automorphism towers are highly malleable by forcing. This is a consequence of the fact that, under a suitable diamond hypothesis, there are sufficiently many highly rigid non-isomorphic Souslin trees whose isomorphism relation can be precisely controlled by forcing.
