Abstract

In this paper, we characterize the possible cofinalities of the least λ-strongly compact cardinal.We show that, on the one hand, for any regular cardinal, δ, that carries a λ-complete uniform ultrafilter, it is consistent, relative to the existence of a supercompact cardinal above δ, that the least λ-strongly compact cardinal has cofinality δ. On the other hand, provably the cofinality of the least λ-strongly compact cardinal always carries a λ-complete uniform ultrafilter.
