    Easton supported Jensen coding and projective measure without projective Baire

    We prove that it is consistent relative to a Mahlo cardinal that all sets of reals definable from countable sequences of ordinals are Lebesgue measurable, but at the same time, there is a Ξ”31\Delta^1_3 set without the Baire property. To this end, we introduce a notion of stratified forcing and stratified extension and prove an iteration theorem for these classes of forcings. Moreover we introduce a variant of Shelah's amalgamation technique that preserves stratification. The complexity of the set which provides a counterexample to the Baire property is optimal.Comment: 142 page

    Embeddings into outer models

    Full text link
    We explore the possibilities for elementary embeddings j:Mβ†’Nj : M \to N, where MM and NN are models of ZFC with the same ordinals, MβŠ†NM \subseteq N, and NN has access to large pieces of jj. We construct commuting systems of such maps between countable transitive models that are isomorphic to various canonical linear and partial orders, including the real line R\mathbb R
