Lower consistency bounds for mutual stationarity with divergent cofinalities and limited covering

英文摘要：

We improve previous work on the consistency strength of mutually stationary sequences of sets concentrating on points with divergent cofinality building on previous work by Adolf, Cox and Welch. Specifically, we have greatly reduced our reliance on covering properties in the proof. This will allow us to handle sequences in which sets concentrating on points of countable cofinality appear infinitely often. Furthermore we will show that if $κ$ is a Jónsson cardinal with $κ< \aleph_κ$ then the sharp for a model with a strong cardinal exists.
