May 9, 2017 at 2:39 comment added Joel David Hamkins One can definitely have a forcing invariant definition of the theory of $L$ in $V$ without $0^\sharp$, just by coding the theory into the GCH pattern arbitrarily high up. Alternatively, if there is a class club of $\kappa$ with $L_\kappa\prec L$, then you can make those cardinals the cardinals of $V$, and this way, even if you do more forcing, the theory of $L_{\omega_1^V}$ will be the theory of $L$, so the $\Sigma^1_\omega$ definition works, even when $0^\sharp$ does not exist.

May 9, 2017 at 2:26 comment added Joel David Hamkins It's definitely not invariant under forcing, since we could collapse more cardinals, and this would change $\alpha$. So you are right, it can't be $\Sigma^1_3$. I guess it is $\Delta^1_4$.
May 9, 2017 at 1:59 comment added Elliot Glazer ^ Actually I'm unsure about this. If your definition really is $\Sigma_3^1,$ then it is invariant under forcing right? That seems hard to believe.
May 9, 2017 at 1:56 comment added Elliot Glazer Now it seems this definition would not be invariant under forcing. If we ask for a definition of truth in $L$ which is invariant under forcing, would that require $0^{\#}$ to exist?
May 9, 2017 at 1:23 comment added Joel David Hamkins Ah, let's do it that way then.
May 9, 2017 at 1:20 comment added Elliot Glazer Are you computing the complexity of $t \subset \omega$ or of $\{t\} \subset \mathcal{R}?$ In the case of the former, $\Pi_3^1$ would follow from $\Sigma_3^1$ simply by checking if $L \models \neg \varphi.$
