Abstract
The paper is a continuation of [The SCH revisited]. In § 1 we define a forcing with countably many nice systems. It is used, for example, to construct a model "GCH below κ, c f κ = ℵ0, and $2^\kappa > \kappa^{+\omega}$" from 0(κ) = κ+ω. In § 2 we define a triangle iteration and use it to construct a model satisfying "{μ ≤ λ∣ c f μ = ℵ0 and $pp(\mu) > \lambda\}$ is countable for some λ". The question of whether this is possible was asked by S. Shelah. In § 3 a forcing for blowing the power of a singular cardinal without collapsing cardinals or adding new bounded subsets is presented. Answering a question of H. Woodin, we show that it is consistent to have "c f κ = ℵ0, GCH below $\kappa, 2^\kappa > \kappa^+$, and ¬□* κ". In § 4 a variation of the forcing of [The SCH revisited, § 1] is defined. It behaves nicely in iteration processes. As an application, we sketch a construction of a model satisfying: "κ is a measurable and 2κ ≥ κ+α for some $\alpha, \kappa < c f \alpha < \alpha$" starting with 0(κ) = κ+α. This answers the question from Gitik's On measurable cardinals violating the continuum hypothesis
