A model in which the Separation principle holds for a given effective projective Sigma-class

Abstract

In this paper, we prove the following: If n3n\ge3, there is a generic extension of LL -- the constructible universe -- in which it is true that the Separation principle holds for both effective (lightface) classes Σn1\varSigma^1_n and Πn1\varPi^1_n for sets of integers. The result was announced long ago by Leo Harrington with a sketch of the proof for n=3n=3; its full proof has never been presented. Our methods are based on a countable product of almost-disjoint forcing notions independent in the sense of Jensen--Solovay.
