3 Matrices Definition Let θ ω 2 be a regular cardinal. By H θ we denote the collection of all sets whose transitive closure has cardinality < θ. We consider it as a model of the form (H θ,, < θ ) where < θ is some fixed well-ordering of H θ that will not be explicitly mentioned. The partial order P is the set of all functions p : ω 1 H θ satisfying: supp(p) = {α < ω 1 : p(α) } is a finite set; p(α) is a finite collection of isomorphic countable elementary submodels of H θ for every α supp(p); for each α, β supp(p) if α < β then M p(α) N p(β) M N; The ordering on P is given by: p q α < ω 1 q(α) p(α).

5 Matrices Theorem (Todorcevic, 1984) PFA implies that κ fails for every uncountable cardinal κ. Theorem (Todorcevic, 1985) It is consistent with ZF that every directed set of cardinality ω 1 is cofinally equivalent to one of the following five: 1, ω, ω 1, ω ω 1, [ω 1 ] <ω.

6 Matrices Theorem (Todorcevic, 1984) PFA implies that κ fails for every uncountable cardinal κ. Theorem (Todorcevic, 1985) It is consistent with ZF that every directed set of cardinality ω 1 is cofinally equivalent to one of the following five: 1, ω, ω 1, ω ω 1, [ω 1 ] <ω. Theorem (Aspero-Mota, 2015) PFA fin (ω 1 ) is consistent with c > ω 2. Boriša Kuzeljević (NUS) Matrices of elementary submodels January / 14

8 Matrices By M H θ we denote that M is a countable elementary submodel of H θ. If G P is a filter in P generic over V, then we define G : ω 1 H θ as the function satisfying G(α) = {M H θ : p G such that M p(α)}. Boriša Kuzeljević (NUS) Matrices of elementary submodels January / 14

9 Matrices By M H θ we denote that M is a countable elementary submodel of H θ. If G P is a filter in P generic over V, then we define G : ω 1 H θ as the function satisfying G(α) = {M H θ : p G such that M p(α)}. For p, q P we will define their join p q as the function from ω 1 to H θ satisfying (p q)(α) = p(α) q(α) for α < ω 1. Boriša Kuzeljević (NUS) Matrices of elementary submodels January / 14

10 Matrices If a condition q P and M H κ (δ M = M ω 1 ) for κ θ are given, it is clear what intersection q M represents. Boriša Kuzeljević (NUS) Matrices of elementary submodels January / 14

11 Matrices If a condition q P and M H κ (δ M = M ω 1 ) for κ θ are given, it is clear what intersection q M represents. We define the restriction of q to M as a function with finite support q M : ω 1 H θ satisfying supp(q M) = supp(q) δ M and for α < δ M we let (q M)(α) to be the set of all ϕ M (N) where M q(δ M ), ϕ M : M = M Hθ and N q(α) M.

Note that the function q M is in P. Boriša Kuzeljević (NUS) Matrices of elementary submodels January / 14

14 Matrices We will also need the following notion which we call the closure of p below δ. Let p P and δ supp(p). Then cl δ (p) : ω 1 H θ is a function such that supp(cl δ (p)) = supp(p) and cl δ (p)(γ) = p(γ) for γ δ, while for γ < δ we define cl δ (p)(γ) to be the set of all ψ N1,N 2 (M) where M p(γ) N 1, = N 1, N 2 p(δ) and ψ N1,N 2 : N 1 N2.

16 Basic properties Lemma P is strongly proper. Lemma Let G be a filter generic in P over V, let M, M H (2 θ ) + and p, P M M. If ϕ : M = M then for δ = M ω 1 = M ω 1 the condition p MM = p { δ, {M H θ, M H θ } } satisfies: p MM ˇϕ[Ġ ˇM] = Ġ ˇM. Boriša Kuzeljević (NUS) Matrices of elementary submodels January / 14

17 Basic properties For p P, by p we define p : ω 1 [H ω1 ] ω as a function with the same support as p which maps α supp( p) to the transitive collapse of some model from p(α), while for α ω 1 \ supp( p) take p(α) =. Lemma Let p, q P. If p = q, then p and q are compatible conditions. Boriša Kuzeljević (NUS) Matrices of elementary submodels January / 14

21 Kurepa tree I Definition A tree T, < is called Kurepa tree if is of height ω 1, with at least ω 2 branches and with all levels countable. Introduced in Kurepa s PhD thesis (Paris, 1935); Solovay showed that there is a Kurepa tree in L; Silver showed that consistently there are no Kurepa trees; Devlin showed that all the theories ZFC±CH±SH±KH are consistent.

22 Kurepa tree II Theorem P adds a Kurepa tree T. Boriša Kuzeljević (NUS) Matrices of elementary submodels January / 14

23 Kurepa tree II Theorem P adds a Kurepa tree T. Sketch of the proof: Consider the family of functions f α : ω 1 ω 1 (α < ω 2 ) defined by { ξ, if there is M G(δ) such that α M and πm (α) = ξ, f α (δ) = 0, otherwise. Denote this family by F = {f α : α < ω 2 } and for a fixed α < ω 2 let the α-th branch of our tree be given by F α = {f α δ : δ < ω 1 }. So the Kurepa tree will be T = δ<ω 1 T δ, where T δ = {f α δ : α < ω 2 } are its levels. Boriša Kuzeljević (NUS) Matrices of elementary submodels January / 14

24 Kurepa tree II Theorem P adds a Kurepa tree T. Sketch of the proof: Consider the family of functions f α : ω 1 ω 1 (α < ω 2 ) defined by { ξ, if there is M G(δ) such that α M and πm (α) = ξ, f α (δ) = 0, otherwise. Denote this family by F = {f α : α < ω 2 } and for a fixed α < ω 2 let the α-th branch of our tree be given by F α = {f α δ : δ < ω 1 }. So the Kurepa tree will be T = δ<ω 1 T δ, where T δ = {f α δ : α < ω 2 } are its levels. Corollary Every uncountable downward closed set S T contains a branch of T. Boriša Kuzeljević (NUS) Matrices of elementary submodels January / 14

25 Continuous matrices Definition Let P c be the suborder of P containing all the conditions satisfying: for every p P c there is a continuous -chain M ξ : ξ < ω 1 (i.e. if β is a limit ordinal, then M β = ξ<β M ξ) of countable elementary submodels of H θ such that ξ supp(p) M ξ p(ξ).

26 Almost Souslin Kurepa tree I Definition A tree S of height ω 1 is an almost Souslin tree if for every antichain X S, the set (S γ is the γ-th level of S) is not stationary in ω 1. L(X ) = {γ < ω 1 : X S γ } Boriša Kuzeljević (NUS) Matrices of elementary submodels January / 14

27 Almost Souslin Kurepa tree I Definition A tree S of height ω 1 is an almost Souslin tree if for every antichain X S, the set (S γ is the γ-th level of S) is not stationary in ω 1. L(X ) = {γ < ω 1 : X S γ } The existence of an almost Souslin Kurepa tree was asked by Zakrzewski (1986). Todorcevic showed that the existence of an almost Souslin Kurepa tree is consistent (1987). Golshani showed there is an almost Souslin Kurepa tree in L (2013). Boriša Kuzeljević (NUS) Matrices of elementary submodels January / 14

28 Almost Souslin Kurepa tree II Theorem (CH) The tree T is an almost Souslin Kurepa tree. Boriša Kuzeljević (NUS) Matrices of elementary submodels January / 14

29 Almost Souslin Kurepa tree II Theorem (CH) The tree T is an almost Souslin Kurepa tree. Sketch of the proof: Let τ H θ be a P c -name. Then the set Γ τ = {γ < ω 1 : M G c (γ) τ M & M[G c ] ω 1 = M ω 1 = γ}. is closed and unbounded in ω 1. Now, let τ be a P c -name for an antichain X in T. Because CH holds in V, P c is ω 2 -c.c. so there is a P c -name σ for X which is in H θ. Then L(X ) Γ σ =. Boriša Kuzeljević (NUS) Matrices of elementary submodels January / 14
