The extender based Magidor-Radin forcing is being generalized to supercompact type extenders.
We build a supercompact version of the forcing defined in \cite{gitik2019}. For each singular cardinal in the ground model with any fixed cofinality, which is a limit of supercompact cardinals, it is possible to force so that the size of…
Assuming that $GCH$ holds and $\kappa$ is $\kappa^{+3}$-supercompact, we construct a generic extension $W$ of $V$ in which $\kappa$ remains strongly inaccessible and $(\alpha^+)^{HOD} < \alpha^+$ for every infinite cardinal $\alpha <…
Assuming the existence of a supercompact cardinal and an inaccessible above it, we construct a model of ZFC, in which all uncountable regular cardinals are inaccessible in HOD.
We construct a variety of inner models exhibiting features usually obtained by forcing over universes with large cardinals. For example, if there is a supercompact cardinal, then there is an inner model with a Laver indestructible…
We summarize the known methods of producing a non-supercompact strongly compact cardinal and describe some new variants. Our Main Theorem shows how to apply these methods to many cardinals simultaneously and exactly control which cardinals…
We define extender sequences, generelizing measure sequences from Radin Forcing. Using the extender sequences we combine Gitik-Magidor forcing for adding many Prikry sequences with Radin forcing. This forcing satisfies Prikry like…
This is an overview about a method of constructing ccc forcings: Suppose first that a continuous, commutative system of complete embeddings between countable forcings indexed along $\omega_1$ is given. Then its direct limit satisfies ccc by…
This paper explores several topics related to Woodin's HOD conjecture. We improve the large cardinal hypothesis of Woodin's HOD dichotomy theorem from an extendible cardinal to a strongly compact cardinal. We show that assuming there is a…
We present a modification to the Prikry on Extenders forcing notion allowing the blow up of the power set of a large cardinal, change its cofinality to omega without adding bounded subsets, working directly from arbitrary extender (e.g.,…
This paper provides an accessible introduction to some of the work of Woodin on suitable extender models. We define the HOD conjecture, prove it is equivalent to a formulation in terms of weak extender models for supercompactness, and give…
Large cardinals arising from the existence of arbitrarily long end elementary extension chains over models of set theory are studied here. In particular, we show that the large cardinals obtained that way (`Unfoldable cardinals') behave as…
We show relative to strong hypotheses that patterns of compact cardinals in the universe, where a compact cardinal is one which is either strongly compact or supercompact, can be virtually arbitrary. Specifically, we prove if V is a model…
We work with symmetric inner models of forcing extensions based on strongly compact Prikry forcing to extend some known results.
We prove that large cardinals need not generally exhibit their large cardinal nature in HOD. For example, a supercompact cardinal $\kappa$ need not be weakly compact in HOD, and there can be a proper class of supercompact cardinals in $V$,…
Based on earlier work of the third author, we construct a Chang-type model with supercompact measures extending a derived model of a given hod mouse with a regular cardinal $\delta$ that is both a limit of Woodin cardinals and a limit of…
We introduce exacting cardinals and a strengthening of these, ultraexacting cardinals. These are natural large cardinals defined equivalently as weak forms of rank-Berkeley cardinals, strong forms of J\'onsson cardinals, or in terms of…
We answer a question of Moore by building a forcing extension satisfying measuring together with CH. The construction works over any model of ZFC and can be described as a forcing iteration with countable structures as side conditions and…
We introduce combinatorial principles that characterize strong compactness and supercompactness for inaccessible cardinals but also make sense for successor cardinals. Their consistency is established from what is supposedly optimal.…
We show that if the weak compactness of a cardinal is made indestructible by means of any preparatory forcing of a certain general type, including any forcing naively resembling the Laver preparation, then the cardinal was originally…
