Abstract

Let m be the least cardinal k such that MA(k) fails. The only known model for &#34;m is singular&#34; was constructed by Kunen. In Kunen's model cof(m)=omega1. It is unknown whether &#34;omega1 < cof(m) < m&#34; is consistent. The purpose of this paper is to present a proof of Kunen's result and to identify the difficulties of generalizing this result to an arbitrary uncountable cofinality.
