Abstract

In §1, we observe that a weakly normal ideal has a saturation property; we also show that the existence of certain precipitous ideals is sufficient for the existence of weakly normal ideals. In §2, generalizing Solovay's theorem concerning strongly compact cardinals, we show that $λ^{<κ}$ is decided if $P_κλ$ carries a weakly normal ideal and λ is regular or cf λ ≤ κ. This is applied to solving the singular cardinal hypothesis.
