Galvin's Conjecture and Weakly Precipitous Ideals

Logic 2025-03-04 v4

Abstract

We investigate a combinatorial game on ω1\omega_1 and show that mild large cardinal assumptions imply that every normal ideal on ω1\omega_1 satisfies a weak version of precipitousness. As an application, we show that that the Raghavan-Todor\v{c}evi\'{c} proof of a longstanding conjecture of Galvin (done assuming the existence of a Woodin cardinal) can be pushed through under much weaker large cardinal assumptions.
