Full Souslin trees at small cardinals

Logic 2024-03-01 v2

Abstract

A κ\kappa-tree is said to be full if each of its limit levels omits no more than one potential branch. Kunen asked whether a full κ\kappa-Souslin tree may consistently exist. Shelah gave an affirmative answer of height a strong limit Mahlo cardinal. Here, it is shown that these trees may consistently exist at small cardinals. Indeed, there can be 3\aleph_3 many full 2\aleph_2-trees such that the product of any countably many of them is an 2\aleph_2-Souslin tree.
