I've been interested in sharps such as $0^\sharp$, $0^{\sharp \sharp}$ and $\mathbb{R}^\sharp$, so I wondered about iterating sharps. Let $n \in \omega$ and $x \in V$. Define $x^{\sharp n}$ like so:

  • If $n = 0$, $x^{\sharp n} = x$.
  • If $n = n' + 1$ for $n' \in \omega$, $x^{\sharp n} = (x^{\sharp n'})^\sharp$.

What is the consistency strength of $\forall n: 0^{\sharp n} \textrm{ exists}$? Obviously it should be above $0^\sharp \textrm{ exists}$, $0^{\sharp \sharp} \textrm{ exists}$, etc.

    $\begingroup$ This statement is weaker than "for all reals $x$, $x^\sharp$ exists", which itself is weaker than existence of $\omega_1$-Erdos cardinal. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ Okay, I think I understand. Could you go into any more detail? $\endgroup$
