Hamkins, where $\\Gamma$ defines a class of forcing posets and $\\kappa$ is a cardinal. We explore the consistency strength and the relationship of $\\textsf{MP}(\\kappa,\\Gamma)$ with various forcing axioms when $\\kappa \\in\\{\\omega,\\omega_1\\}$. In particular, we give a characterization of bounded forcing axioms for a class of forcings $\\Gamma$ in terms of maximality principles MP$(\\omega_1,\\Gamma)$ for $\\Sigma_1$ formulas. A significant part of the paper is devoted to studying the principle MP$(\\kappa,\\Gamma)$ where $\\kappa\\in\\{\\omega,\\omega_1\\}$ and $\\Gamma$ defines the class of stationary set preserving forcings. We show that MP$(\\kappa,\\Gamma)$ has high consistency strength; on the other hand, if $\\Gamma$ defines the class of proper forcings or semi-proper forcings, then by Hamkins, it is shown that MP$(\\kappa,\\Gamma)$ is consistent relative to $V=L$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2016-08-19T18:37:12.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "forcing axioms", "maximality principles mp", "stationary set preserving forcings", "high consistency strength", "significant part" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
