Abstract

We show that compact cardinals and {\rm MM} are sensitive to λ\lambda-closed forcings for arbitrarily large λ\lambda. This is done by adding 'regressive' λ\lambda-Kurepa-trees in either case. We argue that the destruction of regressive Kurepa-trees with {\rm MM} requires the use of Namba forcing.
