The only known model for \"m is singular\" was constructed by Kunen. In Kunen's model cof(m)=omega_1. It is unknown whether \"omega_1 < cof(m) < m\" is consistent. The purpose of this paper is to present a proof of Kunen's result and to identify the difficulties of generalizing this result to an arbitrary uncountable cofinality.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "1992-07-31T00:00:00.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "martins axiom", "kunens model", "kunens result", "arbitrary uncountable cofinality", "consistent" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "1992math......7205L" } } }
