Abstract:We show that if M is a countable transitive model of
$\text {ZF}$
and if
$a,b$
are reals not in M, then there is a G generic over M such that
$b \in L[a,G]$
. We then present several applications such as the following: if J is any countable transitive model of
$\text {ZFC}$
and
$M \not \subseteq J$
is another countable transitive model of
$\text {ZFC}$
of the same ordinal height
$\alpha $
, then there is a forcing extension N of J such that
$M \cup N$
is not included in any transitive model of
$… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
