Abstract

This paper concerns the theory of morasses. In the early 1970s Jensen defined (k, α)-morasses for uncountable regular cardinals k and ordinals α < k. In the early 1980s Velleman defined (k, 1)-simplified morasses for all regular cardinals k. He showed that there is a (k, 1)-simplified morass if and only if there is (k, 1)-morass. More recently he defined (k, 2)-simplified morasses and Jensen was able to show that if there is a (k, 2)-morass then there is a (k, 2)-simplified morass.

In this paper we prove the converse of Jensen's result, i.e., that if there is a (k, 2)-simplified morass then there is a (k, 2)-morass.
