Dec 20, 2016 at 15:45 comment added Asaf Karagila @Stefan: Generally, if $x\subseteq L$, then $L[x]=L(x)$. I don't know how Ralf defined the Baire space, but I suspect that it was done with functions from $\omega$ to $\omega$. So the same principle applies.
Dec 20, 2016 at 15:44 comment added Stefan Mesken @Asaf Yes, I'm aware. However, since $x \in \mathcal{N}$ is not a set of ordinals in Ralf's book, this seemed more relevant to OP. The underlying reason though, that $L[x] = L(x)$, is - as you hinted - that it can be recursively coded as a subset of $\omega$.

Dec 20, 2016 at 15:39 comment added HeinrichD It is not necessary to mention any names. Just include the mathematical objects that you talk about. (This is a general rule.)
Dec 20, 2016 at 15:38 comment added Maxtimax Heinrich: you're right. I don't know if the new title is any better.. What do you suggest ?

Dec 20, 2016 at 15:33 comment added Asaf Karagila @Stefan: For sets of ordinals the two models coincide.
Dec 20, 2016 at 15:31 comment added HeinrichD Please consider choosing a more neutral title. Imagine you are the author of a textbook, would you be happy with a public question (which is more a statement, actually) on the internet "[your name] seems to make a mistake"?

Dec 20, 2016 at 15:01 comment added Stefan Mesken Also note that $L[x]$ is not the least inner model containing $x$ - the least inner model containing $x$ is $L(x)$. $L[x]$, in contrast, is the least inner model closed under $y \mapsto y \cap x$. However, for $x \in \mathcal{N}$, these notions agree, i.e. $L[x]= L(x)$.
Dec 20, 2016 at 14:19 comment added Maxtimax The mistake was essentially that $\sigma$ is not in $\mathcal{N}$ and I hadn't thought of the fact that the coding of strategies through elements of $\mathcal{N}$ was recursive, and that therefore it went smoothly both with Turing degrees and constructibles.

Dec 20, 2016 at 14:12 comment added Asaf Karagila Maxtimax, what seems to be the mistake, though? Could you perhaps state it clearly?
Dec 20, 2016 at 14:11 comment added Asaf Karagila @Todd: Generally, for a set of ordinals $A$, $L[A]$ is the smallest transitive model of ZFC containing all the ordinals such that $A$ is an element of the model. It can be also be constructed in a similar fashion to $L$ by iterated definable power sets by augmenting the language to include a predicate which we interpret as $A$ (intersected with each stage of the construction). So if $x$ is a real number, or a subset of $\omega$, then $L[x]$ is the least such model with $x$ inside of it.
Dec 20, 2016 at 13:59 comment added Simon Thomas It's recursive.
Dec 20, 2016 at 13:59 comment added Maxtimax Thomas, that's true but is the coding necessarily in $L[x]$ ?
Dec 20, 2016 at 13:53 comment added Simon Thomas Strategies $\sigma$ are easily coded by elements of the Baire space and are usually identified with the corresponding element. (In a similar fashion, elements of the Baire space are usually called reals.)
Dec 20, 2016 at 13:52 comment added Maxtimax Sorry, it's the smallest inner model containing $x$, where $x \in \mathcal{N}$ (actually the definition is for any $x$, but here it's in the Baire Space). The more rigorous definition goes through the same construction as for $L$ (the constructible universe) except the first step is with $cl(x)$, the transitive closure of $x$.
Dec 20, 2016 at 13:46 comment added Todd Trimble What is $L[x]$, for people who don't have Jech's book in front of them?
