Abstract

We prove a variation of Easton’s lemma for strongly proper forcings, and use it to prove that, unlike the stronger principle IGMP, GMP together with 2ωω2 is consistent with the existence of an ω1-distributive nowhere c.c.c. forcing poset of size ω1. We introduce the idea of a weakly guessing model, and prove that many of the strong consequences of the principle GMP follow from the existence of stationarily many weakly guessing models. Using Namba forcing, we construct a model in which there are stationarily many indestructibly weakly guessing models which have a bounded countable subset not covered by any countable set in the model.
