Choice principles in local mantles

Logic 2020-12-22 v2

Abstract

Assume ZFC. Let κ\kappa be a cardinal. A <κ{<\kappa}-ground is a transitive proper class WW modelling ZFC and such that VV is a generic extension of WW via a forcing PW\mathbb{P}\in W of cardinality <κ{<\kappa}. The κ\kappa-mantle is the intersection of all <κ{<\kappa}-grounds. We prove that certain partial choice principles in the κ\kappa-mantle are the consequence of κ\kappa being inaccessible/weakly compact, and some other related facts.
