Abstract

We use core model theory to obtain the following lower bounds to the consistency strength for the failure of the Singular Cardinal Hypothesis: Suppose that κ is a singular strong limit cardinal such that 2^K > κ^+. Then there is an inner model K such that o(k) = κ^(++) in K if κ has uncountable cofinality, and ∀α < κ∃ν < κ o(κ) ≥ ν in K otherwise.
