SUPERCOMPACT MEASURES AND THE GALVIN PROPERTY

We study saturation properties of $σ$-complete measures on $P_κ(λ)$, where $λ$ can be either regular or singular. In particular, we prove that in contrast to Galvin's theorem, the Galvin property of Benhamou-Garti-Poveda fails for normal fine ultrafilters on $P_κ(λ)$, answering a question of the first author and Goldberg. We then provide several applications of our results: to ultrafilters on successor cardinals under $UA$, we generalize a result of Gitik regarding density of ground model sets in supercompact Prikry extensions, and to generating sets of $P_κ(λ)$ measures. In the second part of the paper, we study variations of the Galvin property suitable for ultrafilters over $P_κ(λ)$, and generalize a result of Foreman-Magidor-Zeman on determinacy of filter games to the two-cardinal setting, answering a question of the first author and Gitman.
