Abstract

We prove that if $λ$ is a fixed uncountable cardinal and $f = \langle \ka_{\al} : \al < δ\rangle$ is a sequence of infinite cardinals where $δ< ω_3$ and $\ka_{\al}\in \{\om,λ\}$ for each $\al < δ$ in such a way that $f^{-1}\{\om\}$ is $\om_2$-closed in $δ$, then it is consistent that there is a scattered Boolean space whose cardinal sequence is $f$.
