The special Aronszajn tree property at 2 and GCH

Abstract

Starting from the existence of a weakly compact cardinal, we build a generic extension of the universe in which GCH holds and all 2-Aronszajn trees are special and hence there are no 2-Souslin trees. This result answers a well-known open question from the 1970's.
