Title: A Cardinal preserving extension making the set of points of countable V cofinality nonstationary

Abstract:         Assuming large cardinals we produce a forcing extension of V which preserves cardinals, does not add reals, and makes the set of points of countable V cofinality in κ+ nonstationary. Continuing to force further, we obtain an extension in which the set of points of countable V cofinality in ν is nonstationary for every regular ν ≥ κ+. Finally we show that our large cardinal assumption is optimal.

The talk is based on a recent paper by Gitik, Neeman and Sinapova (PDF).
