Apr 19, 2021 at 11:34 comment added Ur Ya'ar @JoelDavidHamkins Thanks! In the first example, will $V$ be a class forcing extension of $L_\mu$?
Apr 19, 2021 at 8:16 comment added Joel David Hamkins @UrYa'ar Your question is interesting. On the one hand, if $\kappa$ is measurable in $V[G]$, then one can always build $L_\mu$, where it is measurable, and this will be an inner model of $V$. So it was measurable before. But this might not be a ground. On the other hand, here is a negative answer. Take the example $V[G][g]$ of my answer, and do class forcing to $V[G][H]$, forcing the ground axiom, but the new forcing is all up high. So $V[G][H]$ thinks $\kappa$ is not measurable in any ground, but becomes measurable in $V[G][H][g]$.
Apr 19, 2021 at 8:10 comment added Ur Ya'ar @JoelDavidHamkins is it the case that whenever a cardinal becomes measurable after forcing, it must have already been a measurable before? I.e. is it true that if $\kappa$ becomes measurable in a forcing extension then there is a ground model where $\kappa$ is measurable?

Oct 28, 2012 at 14:06 comment added Trevor Wilson Hi Joel, thank you for your answer. I would also be interested in hearing about the issue François raises, either in seeing even one example of a new measure that does not lift an old measure, or the stronger property you mention. By the way, I think there may be a typo in the answer above immediately after "We may factor the forcing as".

Oct 28, 2012 at 12:35 comment added Joel David Hamkins By the way, François's variations of the question are also very interesting, and I can explain further examples of that, e.g. where a measurable cardinal is preserved, but no new measure lifts an old measure, etc.

Oct 28, 2012 at 12:21 comment added Joel David Hamkins Asaf, that would be for downwards absoluteness generally, rather than downwards absoluteness to ground models.
Oct 28, 2012 at 12:16 comment added Asaf Karagila It is obvious that any notion incompatible with $L$ is not downwards absolute. No?
