Abstract:
We define extender sequences, generalizing measure sequences of Radin forcing. Using the extender sequences, we show how to combine the Gitik-Magidor forcing for adding many Prikry sequences with Radin forcing. We show that this forcing satisfies a Prikry-like condition, destroys no cardinals, and has a kind of properness. Depending on the large cardinals we start with, this forcing can blow the power of a cardinal together with changing its cofinality to a prescribed value. It can even blow the power of a cardinal while keeping it regular or measurable.

Additional Notes:
This work is a part of research which, hopefully, will become the author's Ph.D. thesis. It was done at Tel-Aviv University under the supervision of M. Gitik. The author thanks M. Gitik for his help with this work, with other works and just in general.
We thank Asaf Sharon for reading and pointing out some problems in a preliminary version of this work.
