Killing the GCH everywhere with a single real

Abstract

Shelah-Woodin investigate the possibility of violating instances of GCHGCH through the addition of a single real. In particular they show that it is possible to obtain a failure of CHCH by adding a single real to a model of GCHGCH, preserving cofinalities. In this article we strengthen their result by showing that it is possible to violate GCHGCH at all infinite cardinals by adding a single real to a model of GCH.GCH. Our assumption is the existence of an H(κ+3)H(\kappa^{+3})-strong cardinal, by work of Gitik and Mitchell it is known that more than an H(κ++)H(\kappa^{++})-strong cardinal is required.
