Abstract

In this paper, we characterize the possible cofinalities of the least $\lambda $-strongly compact cardinal. We show that, on the one hand, for any regular cardinal, $\delta $, that carries a $\lambda $-complete uniform ultrafilter, it is consistent, relative to the existence of a supercompact cardinal above $\delta $, that the least $\lambda $-strongly compact cardinal has cofinality $\delta $. On the other hand, provably the cofinality of the least $\lambda $-strongly compact cardinal always carries a $\lambda $-complete uniform ultrafilter.
