Workshop on Iterated Forcing and Large Cardinals

Organizing Committee:
Michal Hrusak, Saharon Shelah, W. Hugh Woodin

Overview

This workshop will focus on preservation theorems for iterated forcing constructions. The goal is to better understand when iterated forcing constructions preserve the Continuum Hypothesis and its strengthenings and also certain inequalities of cardinal invariants of the continuum. An additional focus will be to attempt to better understand the relationship between Woodin's Pmax-machinery and more conventional iterated forcing constructions. Work of Shelah and Woodin already hints that large cardinals will likely play a role in studying when reals are added in iterated forcing constructions.
