We show that if the existence of a supercompact cardinal $\\kappa$ with a weakly compact cardinal $\\lambda$ above $\\kappa$ is consistent, then the following are consistent as well (where $\\mathfrak{t}(\\kappa)$ and $\\mathfrak{u}(\\kappa)$ are the tower number and the ultrafilter number, respectively): (i) There is an inaccessible cardinal $\\kappa$ such that $\\kappa^+ < \\mathfrak{t}(\\kappa)= \\mathfrak{u}(\\kappa)< 2^\\kappa$ and stationary reflection and the disjoint stationary sequence property at $\\kappa^{++}$ hold. (ii) There is an inaccessible cardinal $\\kappa$ such that $\\kappa^+ = \\mathfrak{t}(\\kappa) < \\mathfrak{u}(\\kappa)< 2^\\kappa$ and the principles in (i) hold plus the tree property at $\\kappa^{++}$ and the negation of the weak Kurepa Hypothesis at $\\kappa^+$. The cardinals $\\mathfrak{u}(\\kappa)$ and $2^\\kappa$ can have any reasonable values in these models. We compute several other values of cardinal invariants, such $\\mathfrak{a}(\\kappa)$ and $\\mathfrak{b}(\\kappa)$, and the invariants of the meager ideal (they are all equal to $\\mathfrak{u}(\\kappa)$). In (ii), we compute $\\mathfrak{p}(\\kappa) = \\mathfrak{t}(\\kappa) = \\kappa^+$ by observing that the $\\kappa^+$-distributive quotient of the Mitchell forcing adds a tower of size $\\kappa^+$. As a corollary of the construction, we obtain that (i) and (ii) are also true for $\\kappa = \\omega$ (starting with a weakly compact cardinal in the ground model).", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2023-08-25T16:32:37.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "03E55", "03E35", "03E17", "03E05" ], "keywords": [ "generalized cardinal invariants", "compactness", "weakly compact cardinal", "inaccessible cardinal", "disjoint stationary sequence property" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 19, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
