It has been an open problem to find a model where the Mitchell ordering embeds the four-element poset $|\\; | .$ We show that in the Kunen-Paris extension all well-founded posets are embeddable. Hence there is no structural restriction on the Mitchell ordering. Moreover we show that it is possible to have two $vartriangleleft$-incomparable measures that extend in a generic extension into two $\\vartriangleleft$-comparable measures.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "1993-12-03T00:00:00.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "normal measures", "generic extension", "open problem", "four-element poset", "kunen-paris extension" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "1993math.....12203W" } } }
