Two-cardinal Kurepa Hypotheses

Abstract

We consider the two-cardinal Kurepa Hypothesis KH(κ,λ)\mathsf{KH}(\kappa,\lambda). We observe that if κλ<μ\kappa\leq\lambda<\mu are infinite cardinals then ¬KH(κ,λ)KH(κ,μ)KH(λ+,μ)\lnot\mathsf{KH}(\kappa,\lambda)\land\mathsf{KH}(\kappa,\mu)\rightarrow\mathsf{KH}(\lambda^+,\mu), and show that in some sense this is the only ZFC\mathsf{ZFC} constraint. The case of singular λ\lambda and its relation to Chang's Conjecture and scales is discussed. We also extend an independence result about Kurepa and Aronszajn trees due to Cummings to the case of successors of singular cardinal.
