On disjoint stationary sequences

Logic 2024-11-27 v2

Abstract

We answer a question of Krueger by obtaining disjoint stationary sequences on successive cardinals. The main idea is an alternative presentation of a mixed support iteration, using it even more explicitly as a variant of Mitchell forcing. We also use a Mahlo cardinal to obtain a model in which 2I[2]\aleph_2 \notin I[\aleph_2] and there is no disjoint stationary sequence on 2\aleph_2, answering a question of Gilton.

Substantial changes to the proof of Theorem 3, which is now only stated for $\aleph_2$. Amendments to the proof of Theorem 2. Other small changes throughout
