The consistency strength of long projective determinacy

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: We determine the consistency strength of determinacy for projective games of length omega2. Our main theorem is that -determinacy for games of length omega2 implies the existence of a model of set theory with omega+n Woodin cardinals. In a first step, we show that this hypothesis implies that there is a countable set of reals A such that Mn(A), the canonical inner model for n Woodin cardinals constructed over A, satisfies A=mathbbR and the Axiom of Determinacy. Then we argue how to obtain a model with omega+n Woodin cardinal from this. We also show how the proof can be adapted to investigate the consistency strength of determinacy for games of length omega2 with payoff in or with sigma-projective payoff.
