Varsovian models II
Abstract
Assume the existence of sufficent large cardinals. Let be the minimal iterable proper class model satisfying "there are such that the are Woodin cardinals and the are strong cardinals". Let . We identify an inner model of , which is a proper class model satisfying "there are 2 Woodin cardinals", and is iterable both in and in , and closed under its own iteration strategy. The construction also yields significant information about the extent to which knows its own iteration strategy. We characterize the universe of as the mantle and the least ground of , and as for being -generic with sufficiently large. These results correspond to facts already known for , and the proofs are an elaboration of those, but there are substantial new issues and new methods used to handle them.
