Forcing Diamond and Applications to Iterability

Logic 2025-04-14 v1

Abstract

We show that higher Sacks forcing at a regular limit cardinal and club Miller forcing at an uncountable regular cardinal both add a diamond sequence. We answer the longstanding question, whether κ=κ<κ1\kappa = \kappa^{<\kappa} \geq\aleph_1 implies that κ\kappa-supported iterations of κ\kappa-Sacks forcing do not collapse κ+\kappa^+ and are κ\kappa-proper in the affirmative. The results pertain to other higher tree forcings.
