But Y ∈ U m implies κ m ∈ j m (Y ). Hence we have in M m an element <strong>of</strong> j m (Y ) which is above<br />

j m (α). Then, by the elementarity, there is an element <strong>of</strong> Y which is above α. Contradiction.<br />

□<br />

Similar and unfortunately, the following holds as well.<br />

Lemma 4.10 Let n < m < ω, α < κ + n . Then the set<br />

is U m -positive.<br />

{β < κ m | α ⊥ β}<br />

Remark 4.11 Note that the pro<strong>of</strong> <strong>of</strong> Lemma 4.9 provides a bit more information. Thus, if<br />

r = j m (q) and α < κ + n does not belong to a q,0 , then r can be extended to a condition p by<br />

either adding α ≺ p,0 κ m or α ⊥ p,0 κ m . Just Definition 4.1 puts no restrictions here.<br />

Let us define now a forcing P similar to the diagonal Prikry forcing. Instead <strong>of</strong> <strong>sets</strong> <strong>of</strong><br />

measure one positive <strong>sets</strong> will be used. Also a small addition will be made in order to insure<br />

that a countable c<strong>of</strong>inal subset will be added to P.<br />

Definition 4.12 A sequence ⃗p = 〈p(0), p(1), ..., p(n), ...〉 will be called a good sequence iff<br />

1. p(0) ∈ Q.<br />

For every l, n, l < n < ω the following hold:<br />

2. p(n) ∈ Q ∗∗<br />
