Forcing the $\Pi^1_n$-Uniformization Property

Logic 2022-10-18 v4

Abstract

We generically construct a model in which the Π31{\Pi^1_3}-uniformization property is true, thus lowering the best known consistency strength from the existence of M1#M_1^{\#} to just ZFC\mathsf{ZFC}. The forcing construction can be adapted to work over canonical inner models with Woodin cardinals, which yields, for the first time, universes where the Π2n1\Pi^1_{2n}-uniformization property holds for n>1n >1, thus producing models which contradict the natural PD\mathsf{PD}-induced pattern. It can also be used to obtain models for the Π11\Pi^1_1-uniformization property in the generalized Baire space.
