Guessing models and the approachability ideal

Abstract

Starting with two supercompact cardinals we produce a generic extension of the universe in which a principle that we call GM+(ω3,ω1){\rm GM}^+(\omega_3,\omega_1) holds. This principle implies ISP(ω2){\rm ISP}(\omega_2) and ISP(ω3){\rm ISP}(\omega_3), and hence the tree property at ω2\omega_2 and ω3\omega_3, the Singular Cardinal Hypothesis, and the failure of the weak square principle (ω2,λ)\square(\omega_2,\lambda), for all regular λω2\lambda \geq \omega_2. In addition, it implies that the restriction of the approachability ideal I[ω2]I[\omega_2] to the set of ordinals of cofinality ω1\omega_1 is the non stationary ideal on this set. The consistency of this last statement was previously shown by Mitchell.
