Abstract

An inaccessible cardinal is strongly compact if, and only if, it satisfies the strong tree property. We prove that if there is a model of ZFC with infinitely many supercompact cardinals, then there is a model of ZFC where ${\aleph _{\omega + 1}}$ has the strong tree property. Moreover, we prove that every successor of a singular limit of strongly compact cardinals has the strong tree property.
