Abstract

We prove that if the sequence \(\langle k_n:1 \le n < \omega\rangle\) contains a so-called gap then the sequence \(\langle S^{\aleph_n}_{\aleph_{k_n}}:1 \le n < \omega\rangle\) of stationary sets is not mutually stationary, provided that \(k_n<n\) for every \(n \in \omega\). We also prove a sufficient condition for being singular Jonsson cardinals.
