Abstract

The Boldface Martin-Harrington Theorem is the relativization of the Martin-Harrington Theorem. The former expresses that \(Det(\varvec{\varSigma _1^1})\) if and only if for any real x, \(x^{\sharp }\) exists. In this chapter, I prove the Boldface Martin-Harrington Theorem in \(\mathsf{Z_2}\) . In Sect. 3.1, I prove in \(\mathsf{Z_2}\) that if for any real \(x, x^{\sharp }\) exists, then \(Det(\varvec{\varSigma _1^1})\) holds. In Sect. 3.2, I prove in \(\mathsf{Z_2}\) that \(Det(\varvec{\varSigma _1^1})\) implies that for any real x, \(x^{\sharp }\) exists.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Note that for fixed real y, \(\mathsf{Z_2}+ \mathsf{HP}(y)\) implies that there is no largest L[y]-cardinal and hence L[y] is a model of \(\mathsf{ZFC}\) .
