AbstractWe set = ‹, ≤L, # ›, where is the set of degrees of nonconstructibility for countable sets of countable ordinals. We show how to define inductively over this structure the degrees of such sets of ordinals in Κ, the core model, and the next few core models thereafter, i.e. without reference to mice, premice or measurable cardinals

Remarkable Cardinals

AbstractWe generalise the α-Ramsey cardinals introduced in Holy and Schlicht (2018) for cardinals α to arbitrary ordinals α, and answer several questions posed in that paper. In particular, we show that α-Ramseys are downwards absolute to the core model K for all α of uncountable cofinality, that strategic ω-Ramsey cardinals are equiconsistent with remarkable cardinals and that strategic α-Ramsey cardinals are equiconsistent with measurable cardinals for all α > ω. We also show that the n-Ramseys satisfy indescribability properties and use them to provide a game-theoretic characterisation of completely ineffable cardinals, as well as establishing further connections between the α-Ramsey cardinals and the Ramsey-like cardinals introduced in Gitman (2011), Feng (1990), and Sharpe and Welch (2011).

AbstractIf there is no inner model with a cardinal κ such that ο(κ) = κ++ then the set K ∩ Hω1 is definable over Hω1 by a Δ4 formula, and the set of countable initial segments of the core model is definable over Hω1 by a Π3 formula. We show that if there is an inner model with infinitely many measurable cardinals then there is a model in which is not definable Σ3 by any Σ3 formula, and K ∩ Hω1 is not definable by any boolean combination of Σ3 formulas.

AbstractA small large cardinal upper bound in V for proving when certain subsets of ω1 (including the universally Baire subsets) are precisely those constructible from a real is given. In the core model we find an exact equivalence in terms of the length of the mouse order; we show that ∀B ⊆ ω1 [B is universally Baire ⇔ B ϵ L[r] for some real r] is preserved under set-sized forcing extensions if and only if there are arbitrarily large “admissibly measurable” cardinals.

A subset X of a structure S is called free in S if ∀x ∈ Xx ∉ S[X − {x}]; here, S[Y] is the substructure of S generated from Y by the functions of S. For κ, λ, μ cardinals, let Frμ(κ, λ) be the assertion:for every structure S with κ ⊂ S which has at most μ functions and relations there is a subset X ⊂ κ free in S of cardinality ≥ λ.We show that Frω(ωω, ω), the free-subset property for ωω, is equiconsistent with the existence of a measurable cardinal (2.2,4.4). This answers a question of Devlin [De].In the first section of this paper we prove some combinatorial facts about Frμ(κ, λ); in particular the first cardinal κ such that Frω(κ, ω) is weakly inaccessible or of cofinality ω (1.2). The second section shows that, under Frω(ωω, ω), ωω is measurable in an inner model. For the convenience of readers not acquainted with the core model κ, we first deduce the existence of 0# (2.1) using the inner model L. Then we adapt the proof to the core model and obtain that ωω is measurable in an inner model. For the reverse direction, we essentially apply a construction of Shelah [Sh] who forced Frω(ωω, ω) over a ground model which contains an ω-sequence of measurable cardinals. We show in §4 that indeed a coherent sequence of Ramsey cardinals suffices. In §3 we obtain such a sequence as an endsegment of a Prikry sequence.

The model K() presented in this paper is a new inner model of ZFC which can contain measurable cardinals of high order. Like the model L() of [14], from which it is derived, K() is constructed from a sequence of filters such that K() satisfies for each (α, β) ε domain () that (α,β) is a measure of order β on α and the only measures in K() are the measures (α,β). Furthermore K(), like L(), has many of the basic properties of L: the GCH and ⃟ hold and there is a definable well ordering which is on the reals. The model K() is derived from L() by using techniques of Dodd and Jensen [2–5] to build in absoluteness for measurability and related properties.

In this note we shall proveTheorem 0.1. Letbe a countably ω-iterable-mouse which satisfies AD, and [α, β] a weak gap of. Supposeis captured by mice with iteration strategies in ∣α. Let n be least such that ; then we have that believes that has the Scale Property.This complements the work of [5] on the construction of scales of minimal complexity on sets of reals in K(ℝ). Theorem 0.1 was proved there under the stronger hypothesis that all sets definable over are determined, although without the capturing hypothesis. (See [5, Theorem 4.14].) Unfortunately, this is more determinacy than would be available as an induction hypothesis in a core model induction. The capturing hypothesis, on the other hand, is available in such a situation. Since core model inductions are one of the principal applications of the construction of optimal scales, it is important to prove 0.1 as stated.Our proof will incorporate a number of ideas due to Woodin which figure prominently in the weak gap case of the core model induction. It relies also on the connection between scales and iteration strategies with the Dodd-Jensen property first discovered in [3]. Let be the pointclass at the beginning of the weak gap referred to in 0.1. In section 1, we use Woodin's ideas to construct a Γ-full a mouse having ω Woodin cardinals cofinal in its ordinals, together with an iteration strategy Σ which condenses well in the sense of [4, Def. 1.13]. In section 2, we construct the desired scale from and Σ.
