The Galvin property under the Ultrapower Axiom
Abstract
We continue the study of the Galvin property from \cite{bgs} and \cite{Benhamou2}. In particular, we deepen the connection between certain diamond-like principles and non-Galvin ultrafilters. We also show that any Dodd sound non p-point ultrafilter is non-Galvin. We use these ideas to formulate what appears to be the optimal large cardinal hypothesis implying the existence of a non-Galvin ultrafilter, improving on a result from \cite{Benhamou_Dobrinen}. Finally, we use a strengthening of the Ultrapower Axiom to prove that in all the known canonical inner models, a -complete ultrafilter has the Galvin property if and only if it is an iterated sum of -points.
