On the consistency of local and global versions of Chang's Conjecture

Abstract

We show that for many pairs of infinite cardinals $\kappa > \mu^+ > \mu$, $(\kappa^{+}, \kappa)\twoheadrightarrow (\mu^+, \mu)$ is consistent relative to the consistency of a supercompact cardinal. We also show that it is consistent, relative to a huge cardinal that $(\kappa^{+}, \kappa)\twoheadrightarrow (\mu^+, \mu)$ for every successor cardinal $\kappa$ and every $\mu < \kappa$, answering a question of Foreman.
