Fine structure without choice
In set theory, are there approaches to fine structure that give fine-structural models that do not satisfy the axiom of choice?
We can build fine-structural models above a given set (such as $\mathbb ...

$Δ^1_3$ reals in transitive models
Every real number is $Δ^1_2$ in some $ω$-model of ZFC\P. I am looking for analogous statements for $Δ^1_3$ definability and transitive models, where the situation is more subtle.
What is the ...

Inner model of "CH + large cardinals" that satisfies MM?
I've been told that if $V$ has CH and large cardinals, then there is an inner model in which MM holds. The sketch is as follows:
Any $\Sigma^2_1$ sentence that can be forced is already true in such $V$...

In the construction of $K^c$ for sequences of measures, why do we only add measures of cofinality $\omega_1$?
$\require{cancel}$
I have a question about the definition of $K^c$ for sequences of measures in Mitchell's "The Covering Lemma" chapter in the Handbook. I will give the definition he gives ...

Weak extender models for supercompactness without choice
Assume ZFC and a supercompact cardinal $κ$. Is it consistent that there is a weak extender model $N⊨\text{ZF}$ for supercompactness of $κ$ such that the axiom of choice and well-ordering of $P_κ(λ)^N$...

Do precipitous ideals "always" come from collapsing?
It's well-known that if $\kappa$ is a measurable cardinal, then there is a poset $\mathbb{P}$ that forces $\kappa$ to carry a precipitous ideal.
Suppose that $\omega_1$ carries a preciptous ideal $I$.

Friedman's proof of covering lemma for $L$
There is a two-page proof of the covering lemma for $L$ using $\Sigma_n$ substructures (Theorem 3.10) in Sy Friedman's Fine Structure and Class Forcing, compared to the proof that spans about twenty ...

The strongest reflection principle that does not violate covering lemmas
#-generated reflection, or Indiscernible-generation, is considered to be the strongest reflection principle that does not violate the covering lemma in L. [1]
Is there a way to extend this success to ...

Why do we need the comparison lemma?
An inner model is a standard transitive (proper class) structure which satisfies all the axioms of ZFC and contains all the ordinals. The simplest and most well-known inner model is Gödel’s $L$, which ...
