Over a model of Generalized continuum hypothesis, add ℵ3​ Cohen reals with finite binary partial functions. The Delta-system lemma proves the countable chain condition for forcing. The generic reals give the continuum lower bound ℵ3​, while nice forcing names for subsets of ω1​ number at most (ℵ3​)ℵ1​=ℵ3​ in the ground model. Cardinal preservation then gives 2ℵ0​=2ℵ1​=ℵ3​.
