This answers a question of Stewart Baldwin. The methods generalize to higher cardinals, showing that the number of lambda strong compactness or lambda supercompactness measures on P_kappa(lambda) can be exactly lambda+, if lambda>kappa is a regular cardinal. We conclude with a list of open questions. Our proofs use a critical observation due to James Cummings.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2006-03-12T19:36:53.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "03E35", "03E55" ], "keywords": [ "large cardinals", "lambda supercompactness measures", "lambda strong compactness", "regular cardinal", "normal measures" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 15, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2006math......3260A" } } }
