The super tree property at the successor of a singular

Abstract

For an inaccessible cardinal κ\kappa, the super tree property (ITP) at κ\kappa holds if and only if κ\kappa is supercomact. However, just like the tree property, it can hold at successor cardinals. We show that ITP holds at the successor of the limit of ω\omega many supercompact cardinals. Then we show that it can consistently hold at ω+1\aleph_{\omega+1}. We also consider a stronger principle, ISP, and certain weaker variations of it. We determine which level of ISP can hold at a successor of a singular. These results fit in the broad program of testing how much compactness can exist in the universe, and obtaining large cardinal-type properties at smaller cardinals.
