Content:

  • Restate $\mathbf{PFA}$, $\mathbf{SPFA}$, $\mathbf{MM}$ as well as $\mathbf{PFA}^{++}$, $\mathbf{SPFA}^{++}$, $\mathbf{MM}^{++}$;
  • A few words on iterated forcing
  • Supercompact Cardinals, Laver functions;
  • Forcing $\mathbf{SPFA}^{(++)}$
  • Weak reflection principle;
  • $\mathbf{MM}\Rightarrow2^{\aleph_1} = \aleph_2$.

Ralf Schindler - Talk 5 on Logic Summer School of Fudan University, 2020

Content:

  • Finish the last theorem of the last lecture: Force by a stationary set preserving forcing:
    $$(M;\in,I)\xrightarrow[\text{of length } \omega_1]{\text{generic iteration}}(H_{\omega_2}^V;\in,\mathbf{NS}_{\omega_1}^V),$$

    where $M$ is a generically iterable countable transitive structure.

  • $\Bbb P_{\max}$ forcing and analysis of $L(\Bbb R)^{\Bbb P_{\max}}$;

  • $(\ast)$ and: $\mathbf{MM}^{++}\implies(\ast)$.
