Abstract: | The combinatorial principle □(λ) says that there is a coherent sequence of length λ that cannot be threaded. If λ=κ+, then the related principle κ□ implies □(λ). Let κ?ℵ2 and X⊆κ. Assume both □(κ) and κ□ fail. Then there is an inner model N with a proper class of strong cardinals such that X∈N. If, in addition, κ?ℵ02 and n<ω, then there is an inner model Mn(X) with n Woodin cardinals such that X∈Mn(X). In particular, by Martin and Steel, Projective Determinacy holds. As a corollary to this and results of Todorcevic and Velickovic, the Proper Forcing Axiom for posets of cardinality +(ℵ02) implies Projective Determinacy. |
