The initial segment condition for $\kappa^+$-supercompactness
Abstract
We give a development of the fine structure of mice with long extenders, to the level of -supercompact cardinals . We do this using a hierarchy with features more analogous to those familiar in the short extender context than the hierarchies introduced by Woodin and by Neeman-Steel. In particular, the mice we consider satisfy stronger versions of the initial segment condition. We establish a form of fine structural condensation involving embeddings which need not be the identity below the projectum of (under special assumptions). We also adapt the analysis of the Dodd structure of short extenders on the sequence to mice at this level.
