Bounded Martin's Maximum with Many Witnesses
Abstract
Description
We study a strengthening of Bounded Martin's Maximum which asserts that if a Σ_1 fact holds of ω_2^V in a stationary set preserving extension then it holds in V for a stationary set of ordinals less than ω_2. We show that this principle implies Global Projective Determinacy, and therefore does not hold in the \mathbb{P}_{max} model for \mathsf{BMM}, but that the restriction of this principle to forcings which render ω_2^V countably cofinal does hold in the \mathsf{BMM} model, though it is not a consequence of \mathsf{BMM}.
