Abstract

The singular cardinal problem is the project to find a complete set of rules for the operation kappa-->2^\kappa for singular cardinals kappa. Consistency results about singular cardinals are obtained using Prikry type forcings. In this talk I will describe properties of these forcings. Then I will present a recent result about projecting Prikry forcings and a consistency result. This is joint work with Spencer Unger.
