Abstract
- Chang's Conjecture (CC) asserts that for every $F:[\omega_2]^{<\omega} \to \omega_2$, there exists an $X$ that is closed under $F$ such that $|X|=\omega_1$ and $|X \cap \omega_1| =\omega$. By classic results of Silver and Donder, CC is equiconsistent with an $\omega_1$-Erdos cardinal. Using stronger large cardinal assumptions (between $o(\kappa) = \kappa^+$ and $o(\kappa) = \kappa^{++}$), we prove that it is consistent to also require that $X$ contains a closed unbounded set of ordinals in $\text{sup}(X \cap \omega_2)$. We denote this stronger principle \textbf{Club-CC}, and also show that, unlike CC, Club-CC implies failure of certain weak square principles.<br />Comment: Theorem 12, and the proof of Claim 13, are not correct (thanks to Omer Ben-Neria for pointing this out). The notion in Definition 7 is inconsistent with ZFC
