Characterizing the spectra of cardinalities of branches of Kurepa trees

Márk Poór and Saharon Shelah

Vol. 311 (2021), No. 2, 423–453
Abstract

We give a complete characterization of the sets of cardinals that in a suitable forcing extension can be the Kurepa spectrum, that is, the set of cardinalities of branches of Kurepa trees. This answers a question of Poór.

Keywords
Kurepa tree, constructible universe, cardinal spectra
