Abstract

Theorem: Let n2.n\ge 2. There is a CCC in LL forcing notion P=PnLP=P_n\in L such that PP-generic extensions of LL are of the form L[a],L[a], where aωa\subseteq\omega and 1) aa is Δn+11\Delta^1_{n+1} in L[a]L[a]; and 2) if bL[a],b\in L[a], bωb\subseteq\omega is Σn1\Sigma^1_n in L[a]L[a] then bLb\in L and bb is Σn1\Sigma^1_n in LL. In addition, if a model MM extends LL and contains two different PP-generic sets a,aω,a,\,a'\subseteq\omega, then ω1M>ω1L\omega^M_1 > \omega^L_1. Comment: For n=2,n=2, this is a result of Jensen and Johnsbr{\aa}ten, 1974. In this case, 2) is a corollary of the Shoenfield absoluteness theorem.
