Abstract: We show that supercompactness and strong compactness can be equivalent even as properties of pairs of regular cardinals. Specifically, we show that if ZFC + GCH is a given model (which in interesting cases contains instances of supercompactness), then there is some cardinal and cofinality preserving generic extension
ZFC + GCH in which, (a) (preservation) for
regular, if
is
supercompact'', then
is
supercompact'' and so that, (b) (equivalence) for
regular,
is
strongly compact'' iff
is
supercompact'', except possibly if
is a measurable limit of cardinals which are
supercompact.
