Assuming the consistency of ZFC+“there is a huge cardinal,” we construct a model of ZFC+ GCH in which the cardinal N, possesses some downwards transfer properties.Chang’s conjecture (see Silver [13] and Kunen [9]) is the statement that every structure (w,, ol, R), with R a countable sequence of relations on 02, has an elementary substructure of the form (A, B, R r A), where A== K, and E= N,. The model will satisfy Chang’s conjecture as in [9]. as well as other properties in this vein. For example, every graph of size and chromatic number N2 will have a vertex induced subgraph of size and chromatic number N,(see Erdos and Hajnal [3, problem 41B]). The consistency (relative to ZFC alone) that GCH holds and this statement about graphs fails is a result of Baumgartner [11. Another result holding in the model is that if d=(A, f,),,, is an algebra in a variety, with A== K,, such that there are functions h,:(A)<‘,+ A (WI< w) so that any Et,-sized subalgebra of s $ closed under the hm’s is free (which happens in particular if every K,-sized subalgebra is free), then & is the union of K,-many free subalgebras. For groups (where the hypothesis just becomes: every subgroup of d of size QK, is free) and other varieties with certain strong properties, Shelah [121 has this consistency result just relative to a Mahlo cardinal. Also, Shelah has shown that if there is a stationary Sr {c1< 02: cfoc= w). such that S ny is nonstationary in y, all y< w2, then there is a group G of size NZ, with all 6 N,-sized subgroups being free, such that G is not the union of X,-many free subgroups. See [2, 11, 121 for these and related results.
