Abstract

The main result of this paper is that if κ is not a weakly Mahlo cardinal, then the following two conditions are equivalent:

1. is κ+-complete.

2. is a prenormal ideal.

Our result is a generalization of an announcement made in [Z]. We say that is selective iff for every -function f: κ → κ there is a set X ∈ such that f∣(κ − X) is one-to-one. Our theorem provides a positive partial answer to a question of B. Wȩglorz from [BTW, p. 90], viz.: is every selective ideal with κ+-complete, isomorphic to a normal ideal?

The theorem is also true for fine ideals on [λ]<κ for any κ ≤ λ, i.e. if κ is not a weakly Mahlo cardinal then the Boolean algebra is λ+-complete iff is a prenormal ideal (in the sense of [λ/<κ).
