This partially answers a question of Foreman and Magidor about the approachability ideal on $\\omega_2$. As a corollary, we show that if there is a presaturated ideal $I$ on $\\omega_2$ such that $\\mathcal{P}(\\omega_2)/I$ is semiproper, then CH holds. We also show some barriers to getting the tree property and a saturated ideal simultaneously on a successor cardinal from conventional forcing methods.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-09-29T18:25:57.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "successor cardinal", "compactness", "ch holds", "tree property", "approachability ideal" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
