Easton's theorem in the presence of Woodin cardinals
نویسنده
چکیده
Under the assumption that δ is a Woodin cardinal and GCH holds, I show that if F is any class function from the regular cardinals to the cardinals such that (1) κ < cf(F (κ)), (2) κ < λ implies F (κ) ≤ F (λ), and (3) δ is closed under F , then there is a cofinality-preserving forcing extension in which 2 = F (γ) for each regular cardinal γ < δ, and in which δ remains Woodin. Unlike the analogous results for supercompact cardinals [Men76] and strong cardinals [FH08], there is no requirement that the function F be locally definable. I deduce a global version of the above result: Assuming GCH, if F is a function satisfying (1) and (2) above, and C is a class of Woodin cardinals, each of which is closed under F , then there is a cofinality-preserving forcing extension in which 2 = F (γ) for all regular cardinals γ and each cardinal in C remains

Woodin Cardinals, Shelah Cardinals, and the Mitchell-steel Core Model
Theorem 4 is a characterization of Woodin cardinals in terms of Skolem hulls and Mostowski collapses. We define weakly hyper-Woodin cardinals and hyper-Woodin cardinals. Theorem 5 is a covering theorem for the Mitchell-Steel core model, which is constructed using total background extenders. Roughly, Theorem 5 states that this core model correctly computes successors of hyper-Woodin cardinals. W...
متن کاملSmall Forcing Creates Neither Strong nor Woodin Cardinals
After small forcing, almost every strongness embedding is the lift of a strongness embedding in the ground model. Consequently, small forcing creates neither strong nor Woodin cardinals. The widely known Levy-Solovay Theorem [LevSol67] asserts that small forcing does not affect the measurability of any cardinal. If a forcing notion P has size less than κ, then κ is measurable in V P if and only...
متن کاملEaston's theorem for Ramsey and strongly Ramsey cardinals
We show that, assuming GCH, if κ is a Ramsey or a strongly Ramsey cardinal and F is a class function on the regular cardinals having a closure point at κ and obeying the constraints of Easton’s theorem, namely, F (α) ≤ F (β) for α ≤ β and α < cf(F (α)), then there is a cofinality preserving forcing extension in which κ remains Ramsey or strongly Ramsey respectively and 2δ = F (δ) for every regu...
متن کاملA Theorem of Woodin on Mouse Sets
It is well known that for any n < ω, the reals in the minimal fully iterable L[ ~ E]-model with n Woodin cardinals are exactly the reals which are ∆n+2 in a countable ordinal ([8]). In a similar vein, the reals in the minimal fully iterable L[ ~ E]-model with ω Woodin cardinals are exactly those which are ∆ L(R) 1 in a countable ordinal, or equivalently, OD L(R) ([7]). Rudominer ([5]) has exten...
متن کاملA Generalization of the Gap Forcing Theorem
The Main Theorem of this article asserts in part that if an extension V ⊆ V satisfies the δ approximation and covering properties, then every embedding j : V → N definable in V with critical point above δ is the lift of an embedding j ↾ V : V → N definable in the ground model V . It follows that in such extensions there can be no new weakly compact cardinals, totally indescribable cardinals, st...
