Small $$\mathfrak {u}(\kappa )$$ u ( κ ) at singular $$\kappa $$ κ with compactness at $$\kappa ^{++}$$ κ + +

We show that the tree property, stationary reflection and the failure of approachability at \ are consistent with \= \kappa ^+ < 2^\kappa \), where \ is a singular strong limit cardinal with the countable or uncountable cofinality. As a by-product, we show that if \ is a regular cardinal, then stationary reflection at \ is indestructible under all \-cc forcings.
