Abstract
We extend Jensen’s Theorem that Souslin’s Hypothesis is consistent with CH, by showing that the statement Souslin’s Hypothesis holds in any forcing extension by a measure algebra is consistent with CH. We also formulate a variation of the principle (*) (see [AT97], [Tod00]) for closed sets of ordinals, and show its consistency relative to the appropriate large cardinal hypothesis. Its consistency with CH would extend Silver’s Theorem that, assuming the existence of an inaccessible cardinal, the failure of Kurepa’s Hypothesis is consistent with CH, by its implication that the statement Kurepa’s Hypothesis fails in any forcing extension by a measure algebra is consistent with CH.
