In particular, we show that the large cardinals obtained that way (`Unfoldable cardinals') behave as a `boundary' between properties consistent with `V=L' and existence of indiscernibles. We also provide an `embedding characterisation' of the unfoldable cardinals and study their preservation and destruction by various different forcings.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "1996-11-13T00:00:00.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "set theory", "long end elementary extension chains", "large cardinals", "arbitrarily long end elementary extension", "unfoldable cardinals" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "1996math.....11209V" } } }
