Aug 3, 2018 at 11:23 comment added Asaf Karagila @jonas: I don't know the exact reference. But if that helps, I know that in Grigorieff's treasure trove of a paper "Intermediate Submodels and Generic Extensions" he mentions that result on page 471.
Aug 2, 2018 at 16:17 comment added jonasreitz Wonderful - yes, that’s exactly what I’m looking for. I’ll think through the argument and do some looking into Solovays result, too. Many thanks - this is a big help!
Aug 2, 2018 at 6:43 comment added Asaf Karagila @jonasreitz: Well, if I understand correctly, then yes. If $\kappa$ is a cardinal in $V$, then $\operatorname{Add}(\kappa,1)^L$ is an $L$-$\kappa$-closed forcing, which only has $\kappa$ many subsets, so you should be able to construct generics. If my memory serves me even better, Solovay proved that from $0^\#$ there is a class generic for a class forcing over $L$ which violates GCH on a proper class of cardinals. I imagine that was the sort of arguments used...
Aug 2, 2018 at 0:59 comment added jonasreitz Thanks, Asaf - that’s great! Do you know if it holds for cardinals not countable in $V$? I don’t see immediately how to generalize the argument, but it would be great if $L[0^\#]$ had L-generics for all posets $Add(\kappa,1)^L$. (Ps. Thanks also for the markup advice - I’m posting from my phone so we’ll see how it comes out).
Aug 1, 2018 at 23:06 comment added Asaf Karagila (Also, as a side note, \# produces $\#$, just for future reference. So you wanted to write $0^\#$, @jonasreitz.)
Aug 1, 2018 at 23:05 comment added Asaf Karagila @jonasreitz: That's easy. If $0^\#$ exists, then $\omega_1^L$ is countable, therefore $\operatorname{Add}(\omega,1)^L$ has only countably many dense open sets (in $L$), so there is a generic filter meeting them. The same argument holds for any $V$-countable $L$-cardinal.
Aug 1, 2018 at 23:03 comment added jonasreitz Hi Asaf - I came across this old question while researching other things, and I'm very intrigued by your side comment in the question above, that the existence of 0# implies the existence of L-Cohen generics. Could you provide a reference? Many thanks!

Aug 15, 2013 at 20:58 comment added Steven Stadnicki My knowledge of generics is pretty weak, but from the bit of recursion theory I know, and what I know of the analogies, it seems like some version of the usual means for constructing reals of intermediate degree ought to provide such an $x$?
