Abstract:

I will introduce the definitions of mutual and tight stationarity due to Foreman and Magidor. These notions generalize the property of stationarity from subsets of a regular cardinal to sequences of subsets of different regular cardinals (or, by some interpretations, to singular cardinals). Tight stationarity will then be related to pcf theory, and from a certain pcf-theoretic assumption we will define a ccc forcing which arranges a particularly nice structure in the tightly stationary sequences.
