Varsovian models $ω$
Farmer Schlutzenberg
Abstract
For $n<ω$, let $N_n$ be the minimal iterable proper class mouse $M$ such that $M\models$ "there are ordinals $δ_0<κ_0<\ldots<δ_{n-1}<κ_{n-1}$ such that each $δ_i$ is a Woodin cardinal and each $κ_i$ is a strong cardinal", and let $N_ω$ be likewise, but with $M\models$ "there is an ordinal $λ$ which is a limit of Woodin cardinals and a limit of strong cardinals". Under appropriate large cardinal hypotheses, Sargsyan and Schindler introduced and analysed in "Varsovian models I" the Varsovian model of $N_1$, and Sargsyan, Schindler and the author introduced and analysed in "Varsovian models II" the Varsovian model of $N_2$. We extend this to $N_ω$, assuming that $*$-translation integrates routinely with the P-constructions of this paper (the write-up of which is yet to be completed). We show, under this assumption, that $N_ω$ has a proper class inner model $\mathscr{V}_ω$ which is a fully iterable strategy mouse with $ω$ Woodin cardinals, closed under its strategy, and that the universe of $\mathscr{V}_ω$ is the eventual generic HOD, and the mantle, of $N_ω$. We also show, under the same assumption, that the core model $K$ of $N_ω$ (which can be defined in a natural manner) is an iterate of $N_ω$, is an inner model of $\mathscr{V}_ω$, and is fully iterable in $M$ and in $\mathscr{V}_ω$.
