Abstract
We show that supercompactness and strong compactness can be equivalent even as properties of pairs of regular cardinals. Specifically, we show that if V = ZFC 4- GCH is a given model (which in interesting cases contains instances of supercompactness), then there is some cardinal and cofinality preserving generic extension V[G] = ZFC + GCH in which, (a) (preservation) for κ ≤ γ regular, if V = "κ is λ supercompact", then V[G] = "κ is λ supercompact" and so that, (b) (equivalence) for κ ≤ λ regular, V[G] = " κ is A strongly compact" iff V[G] = "κ is λ supercompact", except possibly if κ is a measurable limit of cardinals which are λ supercompact.
