For example, the Proper Forcing Axiom implies that even the strongest of these tree properties, ISP, holds at $omega_2$. In this talk, we will investigate a variety of interactions between these strong tree properties, the existence of (weak) Kurepa trees, and the behavior of the continuum function. Along the way, we will also encounter a variant of Silver's celebrated theorem on cardinal arithmetic dealing with a certain cardinal characteristic of ... |
