Jensen $\varDelta^1_3$ reals by means of ZFC$^-$ or second order Peano arithmetic
Abstract
It was established by Jensen in 1970 that there is a generic extension of the constructible universe by a real such that is in . Jensen's forcing construction has found a number of applications in modern set theory. A problem has been recently discussed whether Jensen's construction can be reproduced entirely within second order Peano arithmetic or equivalently FC (minus the Power Set axiom). The obstacle is that the proof of the key CCC property (whether by Jensen's original argument or a later proof using ) essentially involves countable elementary submodels of , which is way beyond ZFC. We show how to circumwent this difficulty by means of killing only definable antichains in the course of a Jensen-like transfinite construction of the forcing, and then define a model with a minimal singleton as a class-forcing extension of a model of ZFC plus .
