Abstract
In this paper we consider whether the minimal normal filter onP κλ, the club filter, can have strong properties like saturation, pre-saturation, or cardinal preserving. We prove in a number of cases that the answer is no. In the case of saturation, Foreman and Magidor prove the answer is always no (except in the caseκ =λ = ℵ1—and in this case saturation is known to be consistent).
