Square Compactness and the filter extension property

Logic 2020-04-09 v2 General Topology

Abstract

We show that the consistency strength of κ\kappa being 2κ2^\kappa-square compact is at least weak compact and strictly less than indescribable. This is the first known improvement to the upper bound of strong compactness obtained in 1973 by Hajnal and Juh{\' a}sz.
