What goes wrong shooting a club on $kappa >aleph_1$?












1












$begingroup$


I'm reading through Jech's book, and in the section Stationary Sets in Generic Extensions (pages 444 and 445), he remarks that the poset used in shooting a club through a stationary $Ssubseteqomega_1$ can be generalized for regular $kappa>aleph_1$, but with additional restrictions on the stationary subset we use in order to preserve $kappa$.



Why do we need these restrictions? What goes wrong in the usual argument if we consider, say, $aleph_2$?



Is it that all club subsets of ordinals $alpha<omega_1$ have countable cofinality, while those $alpha<omega_2$ might have confinality $omega_1$ or $omega$?
