Abstract

We develop a version of Namba forcing which is useful for constructing models with no good scale on ℵω. A model is produced in which holds for all finite n ≥ 1, but there is no good scale on ℵω; this strengthens a theorem of Cummings, Foreman, and Magidor [3] on the non-compactness of square.
