For uncountable cofinality, this situation was not previously known to be consistent. Using different methods, we reduce the upper bound on the consistency strength of this situation for $\\mathrm{cf}(\\nu) = \\omega$ to below a single partially supercompact cardinal. The previous upper bound of infinitely many supercompact cardinals was due to Sharon.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-08-29T10:46:21.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "03E35" ], "keywords": [ "stationary reflection", "upper bound", "singular strong limit cardinal", "singular cardinal hypothesis fails", "single partially supercompact cardinal" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 23, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
