4 Proper forcing Here is an unfamiliar way of defining a familiar class of forcing notions: Definition A forcing notion P is proper if the following holds: for all sufficiently large θ, if P P H θ N L τ ras ù ZFC, σ : N N with P P ranpσq, N countable and p P P X ranpσq, then there is a q p such that whenever G Q q is P-generic, then Ḡ σ 1 G is P σ 1 ppq-generic over N. 1

It follows in this situation that σ can be extended to an elementary embedding σ σ : NrḠs NrGs. 1

13 Fullness The problem with this definition is that it is too restrictive. For example, if every element of ranpσq is definable in N from a 0,..., a n 1, then σ 1 would have to be equal to σ. Thus, Jensen required the existence of a σ 1 only in the case that N is full, meaning that there is an ordinal γ 0 such that L γ p Nq ù ZFC and N is regular in M, i.e., if f : x ÝÑ N, where f P L γ p Nq, then ranpf q P N. 3

43 Bounded forcing axioms For a forcing class Γ, the bounded forcing axiom BFA Γ, introduced by Goldstern-Shelah, says that if P P Γ and is a collection of ω 1 many maximal antichains in B r.o.ppq, each of which has size at most ω 1, then there is a filter in B that meets them all. 12

In the case where Γ is the class of subcomplete forcing, the maximal parameter set possible is H ω2, and the resulting boldface principle is MP SC ph ω2 q. The lightface principle allows for no parameters and is denoted MP SC. But parameters from H ω1 are free, it turns out. 14
55 Consistency strengths As with maximality principles for other canonical forcing classes, the consistency strength of MP SC is just ZFC, while MP SC ph ω2 q is equiconsistent with ZFC, together with the scheme expressing that δ is regular and V δ V (δ is a constant symbol here). 15

66 Geology Definition A ground is an inner model W such that V Wrgs, for some filter g W-generic for a poset P P W. Fact (Ground model enumerability; Laver, F.-Hamkins-Reitz) There is a formula ϕpx, yq such that for every p P V, the class W p tx ϕpx, pqu is a ground, and such that every ground is of the form W p, for some parameter p. 18
67 Geology Definition A ground is an inner model W such that V Wrgs, for some filter g W-generic for a poset P P W. Fact (Ground model enumerability; Laver, F.-Hamkins-Reitz) There is a formula ϕpx, yq such that for every p P V, the class W p tx ϕpx, pqu is a ground, and such that every ground is of the form W p, for some parameter p. Hence the following is a natural first order definition: Definition The mantle M is the intersection of all grounds, i.e., M p W p. 18
68 In the beginning, it was unclear whether the mantle is a model of ZFC. Together with Hamkins and Reitz, we isolated the following crucial hypothesis: Strong Downward Directedness of Grounds hypothesis Any set-sized collection of grounds has a common ground. That is, if a is a set, then there is a q such that W q ppa W p. 19

Together with Hamkins and Reitz, we isolated the following crucial hypothesis: Strong Downward Directedness of Grounds hypothesis Any set-sized collection of grounds has a common ground. That is, if a is a set, then there is a q such that W q ppa W p. This was a crucial hypothesis, which would answer many initially open questions. 19
70 Fact (F.-Hamkins-Reitz) Assume the strong DDG. Then: 1. The mantle is constant across the grounds (directedness suffices). 2. The mantle is a model of ZF (directedness suffices). 3. The mantle satisfies ZFC (directedness + local set-directedness suffice). 20

The mantle satisfies ZFC (directedness + local set-directedness suffice). Initially, we had defined the generic mantle to be the intersection of the mantles of all set-forcing extensions, and proved that it satisfies ZF, and is the largest forcing-invariant class. But note that if the strong DDG holds in every set-forcing extension (this is what we called the generic strong DDG), then by 1. above, the generic mantle is equal to the mantle, and the mantle is a forcing-invariant inner model of ZFC. 20

Thus, the generic strong DDG also holds, and we have: Theorem The mantle is a model of ZFC, and it is invariant under set-forcing. Also, the mantle is equal to the generic mantle, and is the intersection of the generic multiverse, so it is the largest forcing-invariant class. 21

Observation If there are only set-many grounds, then the mantle is a ground. This is because by the strong DDG, there is a ground that is contained in every ground, in this situation, and this is the minimal ground, and the mantle. 22

85 The goal theorem I want to show: Theorem (F.) Assume MP SC and there are only set-many grounds. Then there is a well-order of Ppω 1 q, definable without parameters, of order type ω 2. 24
86 The goal theorem I want to show: Theorem (F.) Assume MP SC and there are only set-many grounds. Then there is a well-order of Ppω 1 q, definable without parameters, of order type ω 2. Before giving a proof of this theorem, I need a crucial coding device, and I should remark: Observation If ZFC MP SC ph ω2 q is consistent, then so is the theory ZFC MP SC ph ω2 q there are only set-many grounds. 24

88 The extended Namba problem The following remarkable theorem of Jensen serves as a coding tool in my application. Theorem (Jensen) Let κ be an inaccessible cardinal, and assume that GCH holds below κ. Let A κ be a set of regular cardinals. Then there is a subcomplete, κ-c.c. forcing P of size κ such that if G is P-generic, then κ ω VrGs 2 and for every regular τ P pω 1, κq, cf VrGs pτq # ω 1 ω if τ P A otherwise. 25

First, recall that since there are only set-many grounds, M is a ground. 26

93 The proof Let δ ω 2. 27
94 The proof Let δ ω 2. Since M is forcing-absolute, it follows from MP SC ph ω2 q that V M δ M by verifying the Tarski-Vaught criterion for elementary substructures. 27
95 The proof Let δ ω 2. Since M is forcing-absolute, it follows from MP SC ph ω2 q that V M δ M by verifying the Tarski-Vaught criterion for elementary substructures. Since δ is regular, it follows that δ is inaccessible in M. 27
96 The proof Let δ ω 2. Since M is forcing-absolute, it follows from MP SC ph ω2 q that V M δ M by verifying the Tarski-Vaught criterion for elementary substructures. Since δ is regular, it follows that δ is inaccessible in M. This, in turn, implies that there is a proper class of inaccessible cardinals in M, and since V is a set forcing extension of M, also in V. 27
97 The proof Let δ ω 2. Since M is forcing-absolute, it follows from MP SC ph ω2 q that V M δ M by verifying the Tarski-Vaught criterion for elementary substructures. Since δ is regular, it follows that δ is inaccessible in M. This, in turn, implies that there is a proper class of inaccessible cardinals in M, and since V is a set forcing extension of M, also in V. Let α P, and let xκ i i ω 1 y enumerate the next ω 1 1 inaccessible cardinals above α. We can perform an Easton iteration of at least countably closed forcing notions in order to reach an extension in which GCH holds below κ ω1, such that if h is generic, then each κ i is still inaccessible in Vrhs. 27
98 The proof Now, given a subset A of ω 1 in V, let à tκ i i P Au. 28
99 The proof Now, given a subset A of ω 1 in V, let à tκ i i P Au. Then let Q N Vrhs Ã,κ ω1 be the extended Namba forcing for à in Vrhs. Thus, Q is κ ω1 -c.c., and if G is Q-generic over Vrhs, then for every µ P Ã, VrhsrGs thinks that cfpµq ω 1, and for every ν P κ ω1 zã which is regular in Vrhs, VrhsrGs thinks that cfpνq ω. In particular, the latter is true for every κ j with j ω 1, j R A, since κ j remains regular in Vrhs. κ ω1 becomes ω 2 in VrhsrGs. 28
100 The proof Now, given a subset A of ω 1 in V, let à tκ i i P Au. Then let Q N Vrhs Ã,κ ω1 be the extended Namba forcing for à in Vrhs. Thus, Q is κ ω1 -c.c., and if G is Q-generic over Vrhs, then for every µ P Ã, VrhsrGs thinks that cfpµq ω 1, and for every ν P κ ω1 zã which is regular in Vrhs, VrhsrGs thinks that cfpνq ω. In particular, the latter is true for every κ j with j ω 1, j R A, since κ j remains regular in Vrhs. κ ω1 becomes ω 2 in VrhsrGs. So in VrhsrGs, we have: cfpκ i q # ω 1 ω if i P A if i P ω 1 za 28
101 The proof Now if VrhsrGsrIs is a further subcomplete forcing extension of VrhsrGs, then the cofinality of κ i, for i ω 1, cannot change, since subcomplete forcing preserves ω 1. 29
102 The proof Now if VrhsrGsrIs is a further subcomplete forcing extension of VrhsrGs, then the cofinality of κ i, for i ω 1, cannot change, since subcomplete forcing preserves ω 1. Moreover, the sequence xκ i i ω 1 y is definable in VrhsrGsrIs from the parameter α, as the enumeration of the next ω 1 many inaccessible cardinals in M beyond α. 29

Moreover, the sequence xκ i i ω 1 y is definable in VrhsrGsrIs from the parameter α, as the enumeration of the next ω 1 many inaccessible cardinals in M beyond α.

104 The proof Now if VrhsrGsrIs is a further subcomplete forcing extension of VrhsrGs, then the cofinality of κ i, for i ω 1, cannot change, since subcomplete forcing preserves ω 1. Moreover, the sequence xκ i i ω 1 y is definable in VrhsrGsrIs from the parameter α, as the enumeration of the next ω 1 many inaccessible cardinals in M beyond α. Hence, A is definable in VrhsrGsrIs as the set of i cfpκ i q ω 1. ω 1 such that Let ψpa, αq be the statement expressing that if xλ i i ω 1 y enumerates the next ω 1 many inaccessible cardinals of M beyond α, then for all i ω 1, i P A iff cfpλ i q ω 1, and i R A iff cfpλ i q ω. Then the statement ϕpaq, expressing that there is an α with ψpa, αq, holds in VrhsrGsrIs. 29
105 The proof Since I was generic for an arbitrary subcomplete forcing notion in VrhsrGs, this means that ϕpaq is necessary with respect to subcomplete forcing extensions in VrhsrGs, and hence it is forceably necessary with respect to subcomplete forcing in V. 30
106 The proof Since I was generic for an arbitrary subcomplete forcing notion in VrhsrGs, this means that ϕpaq is necessary with respect to subcomplete forcing extensions in VrhsrGs, and hence it is forceably necessary with respect to subcomplete forcing in V.

108 The proof Since I was generic for an arbitrary subcomplete forcing notion in VrhsrGs, this means that ϕpaq is necessary with respect to subcomplete forcing extensions in VrhsrGs, and hence it is forceably necessary with respect to subcomplete forcing in V. It follows by MP SC ph ω2 q that ϕpaq already holds in V. Since A was an arbitrary subset of ω 1 in V, it follows that ϕpbq holds, for every B ω 1. Given A ω 1, let β be such that ψpa, βq holds. In V Colpω1,βq, and in any further subcomplete forcing extension, ψpa, βq continues to hold, and β ω 2 there. Thus, if we let α A be least such that ψpa, α A q holds, it is subcomplete forceably necessary that α A ω 2, and so, it is already less than ω 2 in V. 30

Thus, if we let α A be least such that ψpa, α A q holds, it is subcomplete forceably necessary that α A ω 2, and so, it is already less than ω 2 in V. This shows that if we define A B iff α A α B, for A, B ω 1, then this is a well-ordering of Ppω 1 q of order type ω 2, as wished. 30

This well-order is in LpPpω 1 qq, is 1 -definable from a subset I 1 of ω 1 there, and it is xhω 2,Py 1 -definable in I 1. 31
114 Thus, we get definable well-orders from subcomplete forcing principles both from large cardinal assumptions and from anti-large cardinal assumptions. 32
