Destroying Saturation while Preserving Presaturation at an Inaccessible; an Iterated Forcing Argument

Logic 2021-04-21 v4

Abstract

We prove that a large class of presaturated ideals at inaccessible cardinals can be de-saturated while preserving their presaturation, answering both a question of Foreman and of Cox and Eskew. We do so by iterating a generalized version of Baumgartner and Taylor's forcing to add a club with finite conditions along an inaccessible cardinal, and invoking Foreman's Duality Theorem.
