Rigid ideals
Abstract
An ideal on a cardinal is called \emph{rigid} if all automorphisms of are trivial. An ideal is called \emph{-minimal} if whenever is generic and , it follows that . We prove that the existence of a rigid saturated -minimal ideal on , where is a regular cardinal, is consistent relative to the existence of large cardinals. The existence of such an ideal implies that GCH fails. However, we show that the existence of a rigid saturated ideal on , where is an \emph{uncountable} regular cardinal, is consistent with GCH relative to the existence of an almost-huge cardinal. Addressing the case , we show that the existence of a rigid \emph{presaturated} ideal on is consistent with CH relative to the existence of an almost-huge cardinal. The existence of a \emph{precipitous} rigid ideal on where is an uncountable regular cardinal is equiconsistent with the existence of a measurable cardinal.
