Recall that the Mouse Set Conjecture says that under AD++V=L(P(R)), a real is ordinal definable if and only if it belongs to an iterable mouse. The Mouse Set Conjecture for sets of reals says that under the same theory, a set of reals is…
Let kappa be the least ordinal alpha such that L_{alpha}(R) is admissible. Let A be the set of reals x such that x is ordinal definable in L_{\alpha}(R), for some alpha<kappa. It is well known that (assuming determinacy) A is the largest…
Assume ZF + AD + $V=L(\mathbb{R})$. We prove some "mouse set" theorems, for definability over $J_\alpha(\mathbb{R})$ where $[\alpha,\alpha]$ is a projective-like gap (of $L(\mathbb{R})$) and $\alpha$ is either a successor ordinal or has…
We establish the descriptive set theoretic representation of the mouse $M_n^{\#}$, which is called $0^{(n+1)\#}$. This part deals with the case $n=1$.
We identify a particular mouse, $M^{\text{ld}}$, the minimal ladder mouse, that sits in the mouse order just past $M_n^{\sharp}$ for all $n$, and we show that $\mathbb{R}\cap M^{\text{ld}} = Q_{\omega+1}$, the set of reals that are…
We establish the descriptive set theoretic representation of the mouse $M_n^{\#}$, which is called $0^{(n+1)\#}$. This part partially deals with the case $n=2$ by proving the many-one equivalence of $M_2^{\#}$ and the theory of…
We establish the descriptive set theoretic representation of the mouse $M_n^{\#}$, which is called $0^{(n+1)\#}$. This part deals with the case $n>3$.
We study models M of set theory that are "condensable", in the sense that there is an "ordinal" v of M such that the rank initial segment of M determined by v is both isomorphic to M, and also an elementary submodel of M for infinitary…
We give a construction of scales (in the descriptive set theoretic sense) directly from mouse existence hypotheses, without using any determinacy arguments. The construction is related to the Martin-Solovay construction for scales on…
The main theorem of this article is that every countable model of set theory M, including every well-founded model, is isomorphic to a submodel of its own constructible universe. In other words, there is an embedding $j:M\to L^M$ that is…
We study the structural regularities and irregularities of the reals in inner models of set theory. Starting with $L$, G\"{o}del's constructible universe, our study of the reals is thus two-fold. On the one hand, we study how their…
The structures $\langle M,\subseteq^M\rangle$ arising as the inclusion relation of a countable model of sufficient set theory $\langle M,\in^M\rangle$, whether well-founded or not, are all isomorphic. These structures $\langle…
Let $\mathbb{M}$ be the monster model of a complete first-order theory $T$. If $\mathbb{D}$ is a subset of $\mathbb{M}$, following D. Zambella we consider $e(\mathbb{D})=\{\mathbb{D}^\prime\mid (\mathbb{M},\mathbb{D})\equiv…
It is shown how regular model sets can be characterized in terms of regularity properties of their associated dynamical systems. The proof proceeds in two steps. First, we characterize regular model sets in terms of a certain map $\beta$…
In this note, we present a characterization of sets definable in Skolem arithmetic, i.e., the first-order theory of natural numbers with multiplication. This characterization allows us to prove the decidability of the theory. The idea is…
It is true in the Solovay model that every countable ordinal-definable set of sets of reals contains only ordinal-definable elements.
We study the sets of the infinite sentences constructible with a dictionary over a finite alphabet, from the viewpoint of descriptive set theory. Among other things, this gives some true co-analytic sets. The case where the dictionary is…
The Mandelbrot set is an extremely well-known mathematical object that can be described in a quite simple way but has very interesting and non-trivial properties. This paper surveys some results that are known concerning the…
The purpose of this book is to lay out certain aspects of descriptive set theory. After initially establishing notation and generalities we proceed to the following topics: partitions, semirings, rings, $\sigma$-rings, $\delta$-rings,…
Model sets are always Meyer sets, but not vice-versa. This article is about characterizing model sets (general and regular) amongst the Meyer sets in terms of two associated dynamical systems. These two dynamical systems describe two very…
