Embedding Cohen algebras using pcf theory
Abstract
Using a theorem from pcf theory, we show that for any singular cardinal nu, the product of the Cohen forcing notions on kappa, kappa < nu adds a generic for the Cohen forcing notion on nu+. This solves Problem 5.1 in Miller's list (attributed to Rene David and Sy Friedman).
