An Inconsistent Forcing Axiom at $\omega_2$

Logic 2020-08-05 v1

Abstract

We show that the forcing axiom for countably compact, ω2\omega_2-Knaster, well-met posets is inconsistent. This is supplemental to an inconsistency result of Shelah and sets a new limit to the generalization of Martin's Axiom to the stage of ω2\omega_2.
