Large cardinal axioms from tameness in aecs

Will Boney, Spencer Unger

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

We show that various tameness assertions about abstract elementary classes imply the existence of large cardinals under mild cardinal arithmetic assumptions. For instance, we show that if κ is an uncountable cardinal such that μω <κ for every μ<κ and every AEC with Löwenheim-Skolem number less than κ is <κ-tame, then κ is almost strongly compact. This is done by isolating a class of AECs that exhibits tameness exactly when sufficiently complete ultrafilters exist.
