Abstract

We study a generalization of the splitting number s to uncountable cardinals. We prove that 𝔰(κ) > κ+ for a regular uncountable cardinal κ implies the existence of inner models with measurables of high Mitchell order. We prove that the assumption 𝔰(ℵω) > ℵω+1 has a considerable large cardinal strength as well.
