Abstract

By an ω₁-tree we mean a tree of cardinality ω₁ and height ω₁. An ω₁-tree is called a Kurepa tree if all its levels are countable and it has more than ω₁ branches. An ω₁-tree is called a Jech-Kunen tree if it has κ branches for some κ strictly between ω₁ and 2^ω₁. A Kurepa tree is called an essential Kurepa tree if it contains no Jech-Kunen subtrees. A Jech-Kunen tree is called an essential Jech-Kunen tree if it is no Kurepa subtrees. In this paper we prove that (1) it is consistent with CH and 2^ω₁ #62; ω₂ that there exist essential Kurepa trees and there are no essential Jech-Kunen trees, (2) it is consistent with CH and 2^ω₁ #62; ω₂ plus the existence of a Kurepa tree with 2^ω₁ branches that there exist essential Jech-Kunen trees and there are no essential Kurepa trees. In the second result we require the existence of a Kurepa tree with 2^ω₁ branches in order to avoid triviality.
