New consequences of PFA($T^*$)

Abstract

Let $T^*$ be an almost Suslin tree, that is, an Aronszajn tree with no stationary antichains. Krueger introduced a forcing axiom, $\mathrm{PFA}(T^*)$, for the class of proper forcings that preserve that $T^*$ is almost Suslin. He showed that $\mathrm{PFA}(T^*)$ implies several well-known consequences of the Proper Forcing Axiom ($\mathrm{PFA}$), including Suslin's Hypothesis and the P-ideal dichotomy. We extend this list by proving that $\mathrm{PFA}(T^*)$ also implies the Mapping Reflection Principle ($\mathrm{MRP}$) and the Open Graph Axiom ($\mathrm{OGA}$). Additionally, we show that $\mathrm{PFA}(T^*)$ implies that all special Aronszajn trees are club-isomorphic, but it does not imply that all almost Suslin trees are club-isomorphic.
