3 unusual facts about Moti Gitik


Regular cardinal

Furthermore, it is consistent with ZF that every aleph bigger than \aleph 0 is singular (a result proved by Moti Gitik).

Singular cardinals hypothesis

Gitik, building on work of Woodin, was able to replace the supercompact in Silver's proof with a measurable of Mitchell order \kappa^{++} .

In fact, by results of Moti Gitik, ZFC + the negation of SCH is equiconsistent with ZFC + the existence of a measurable cardinal κ of Mitchell order κ++.
