On Cohen and Prikry Forcing Notions

Logic 2024-05-22 v3

Abstract

We show that it is possible to add κ+\kappa^+-Cohen subsets to κ\kappa with a Prikry forcing over κ\kappa. This answers a question from \cite{HayutBenhanouGitik}. A strengthening of non-Galvin property is introduced. It is shown to be consistent using a single measurable cardinal which improves a previous result by S. Garti, S. Shelah, and the first author \cite{BenhamouGartieShelah}. A situation with extender-based Prikry forcings is examined. This relates to a question of H. Woodin.

Comments

Corrected typos, added details to the proof of the main theorems, and improved the result about the Merimovich Extender-based Prikry forcing: we now prove that in its general form, it cannot answer Woodin's question
