Extract

It is a theorem of Prikry [7] that if κ carries a uniform η-descendingly complete ultrafilter then the stationary reflection property fails. In this paper we will derive similar results, but here from properties of filters (or ideals) rather than ultrafilters.

Throughout κ and η will denote regular cardinals with η < κ (in particular κ will be uncountable), and I will denote an ideal on κ, by which we mean a set IP(κ) such that (i) I is closed under taking subsets and finite unions and (ii) αЄ I for each α < κ, but κI. I is said to be μ-complete if it is closed under taking unions of size < μ, I* = {XκκX Є I} is the filter dual to I and if A Є I+ (= P(κ) − I), then IA is the ideal on κ given by IA = {XκXA Є I}. If h: Aκ then h is said to be (i) unbounded mod I if for each α < κ, h−1(α) = {ξ Є Ah(ξ) < α} Є I and (ii) a least function for I if h is unbounded mod I and whenever g: Aκ is a function, unbounded mod I, then {ξ Є Ag{ξ) < h{ξ)} Є I.
