Some basic thoughts on the cofiality of Chang structures with an application to forcing

Abstract

Consider (κ+++,κ++)(κ+,κ)(\kappa^{+++},\kappa^{++}) \twoheadrightarrow (\kappa^+,\kappa) where κ\kappa is an uncountable regular cardinal. By a result of Shelah's we have cof(Xκ++)=κ\operatorname{cof}(X \cap \kappa^{++}) = \kappa for almost all Xκ+++X \subset \kappa^{+++} witnessing this. Here we consider the question if there could be a similar result for Xκ+X \cap \kappa^+. We use this discussion to give an interesting example of a pseudo Prikry forcing answering a question of Sinapova.
