Abstract:
We show, assuming the consistency of one measurable cardinal, that it is consistent for there to be exactly many normal measures on the least measurable cardinal . This answers a question of Stewart Baldwin. The methods generalize to higher cardinals, showing that the number of strong compactness or supercompactness measures on can be exactly if is a regular cardinal. We conclude with a list of open questions. Our proofs use a critical observation due to James Cummings.
