Supercompact Measures and the Galvin Property

Abstract

We study saturation properties of σ\sigma-complete measures on Pκ(λ)P_\kappa(\lambda), where λ\lambda can be either regular or singular. In particular, we prove that in contrast to Galvin's theorem, the Galvin property of Benhamou-Garti-Poveda fails for normal fine ultrafilters on Pκ(λ)P_\kappa(\lambda), answering a question of the first author and Goldberg. We then provide several applications of our results: to ultrafilters on successor cardinals under UAUA, we generalize a result of Gitik regarding density of ground model sets in supercompact Prikry extensions, and to generating sets of Pκ(λ)P_\kappa(\lambda) measures. In the second part of the paper, we study variations of the Galvin property suitable for ultrafilters over Pκ(λ)P_\kappa(\lambda), and generalize a result of Foreman-Magidor-Zeman on determinacy of filter games to the two-cardinal setting, answering a question of the first author and Gitman.
