I[omega_2] can be the nonstationary ideal on Cof(omega_1)
Abstract
Description
We answer a question of Shelah by showing that it is consistent that every set of ordinals of cofinality omega_1 in I[omega_2] is nonstationary if and only if it is consistent that that there is a kappa^+ Mahlo cardinal kappa.
