Abstract

We describe a framework for proving consistency results about singular cardinals of arbitrary cofinality and their successors. This framework allows the construction of models in which the Singular Cardinals Hypothesis fails at a singular cardinal κ of uncountable cofinality, while κ^+ enjoys various combinatorial properties. As a sample application, we prove the consistency (relative to that of ZFC plus a supercompact cardinal) of there being a strong limit singular cardinal κ of uncountable cofinality where SCH fails and such that there is a collection of size less than 2^{κ^+} of graphs on κ^+ such that any graph on κ^+ embeds into one of the graphs in the collection.
