Gödel's Constructible Universe in Infinitary Logics (A Possible Approach to HOD Problem)
Gödel's constructible universe ($L$) is defined using definable power set operator in first order logic ($\mathcal{L}_{\omega ,\omega}$). One can produce such a universe in infinitary logics in ...

Inner model with a $\mathit{\Delta}^1_3$-good well-ordering of the reals
The constructible universe $L$ has some nice properties:
$L$ has a $\mathit{\Delta}^1_2$-good well-ordering of $\mathbb{R}$. (Gödel, Addison)
For any $\mathit{\Sigma}^1_2$ formula $\varphi(x)$ and a ...

If we have a class like $L$ but allowing a set number of unbounded quantifiers, is it strict superset of $L$?
The definition of $L$ only permits bounded quantifiers. If we allow a certain number of unbounded quantifiers, does this result in a strict superset of $L$? For example:
$$
\operatorname{Def}^{\...

Do all limit $\alpha \in \omega_1^L$ satisfy $L_\alpha \models V=HC$?
In Gaps in the constructible universe, Marek and Srebrny, 1973 a gap ordinal and the start of a gap are defined as follows
$\alpha$ is a gap ordinal iff $(L_{\alpha+1}-L_\alpha)\bigcap \mathcal{P}(\...

Inner model for KP and a Well-Ordering of the Reals
It is well known that Gödel proved the following theorem:
$\mathsf{ZFC + V=L}$ has a $\mathit{\Delta}^1_2$-good well-ordering of $\mathbb{R}$. (Gödel, Addison)
So:
Is there an inner model for KP/Z/....

Why can't $L_\beta$ contain a real coding a well-ordering of order-type $\beta$, when $\beta$ is a gap ordinal?
In Gaps in the constructible universe, Marek and Srebrny, 1973 a gap ordinal is defined as follows
$\alpha$ is a gap ordinal iff $(L_{\alpha+1}-L_\alpha)\cap \mathcal{P}(\omega) = \emptyset$
Their ...

Is Jensen's covering lemma meaningful in a platonist's view?
The typical applications of fine structure theory are finding out the lower bounds of consistency strength of axiom systems. In such a proccess, we also constructs many combinatorial objects in core ...
