Title
Bounded forcing axioms and the continuum
Abstract
We show that bounded forcing axioms (for instance, the Bounded Proper Forcing Axiom and the Bounded Semiproper Forcing Axiom) are consistent with the existence of (ω2,ω2)-gaps and thus do not imply the Open Coloring Axiom. They are also consistent with Jensen's combinatorial principles for L at the level ω2, and therefore with the existence of an ω2-Suslin tree. We also show that the axiom we call BMMℵ3 implies ℵ2ℵ1=ℵ2, as well as a stationary reflection principle which has many of the consequences of Martin's Maximum for objects of size ℵ2. Finally, we give an example of a so-called boldface bounded forcing axiom implying 2ℵ0=ℵ2.
