The generalized Kurepa hypothesis at singular cardinals

Logic 2020-03-05 v2

Abstract

We discuss the generalized Kurepa hypothesis KHλKH_{\lambda} at singular cardinals λ\lambda. In particular, we answer questions of Erd\"{o}s-Hajnal [1] and Todorcevic [6], [7] by showing that GCHGCH does not imply KHωKH_{\aleph_\omega} nor the existence of a family F[ω]0 \mathcal{F} \subseteq [\aleph_\omega]^{\aleph_0} of size ω+1\aleph_{\omega+1} such that FX\mathcal{F} \restriction X has size 0\aleph_0 for every XS,X=0X \subseteq S, |X|=\aleph_0.

Comments

In personal communication, Stevo Todorcevic informed the author that Theorem 3.1 has been obtained by him before; for example can be found on page 231 of his book Walks on ordinals and their characteristics. However our proof is different from him
