Soundness of Ω-logic (Woodin; primer, Theorem 3.3). Assume there is a proper class of strongly inaccessible cardinals. Then for every set of sentences TTT and every sentence φ\varphiφ,

T⊢Ωφ ⟹ T⊨Ωφ.T \vdash_\Omega \varphi \ \Longrightarrow\ T \models_\Omega \varphi .T⊢Ω​φ ⟹ T⊨Ω​φ.

That is, if a universally Baire set AAA has the property that Mα⊨TM_\alpha \models TMα​⊨T implies Mα⊨φM_\alpha \models \varphiMα​⊨φ for every strongly AAA-closed countable transitive model MMM of ZFC and every ordinal α∈M\alpha \in Mα∈M, then VαB⊨TV^B_\alpha \models TVαB​⊨T implies VαB⊨φV^B_\alpha \models \varphiVαB​⊨φ for every complete Boolean algebra BBB and every ordinal α\alphaα.

This is the "if" direction of the Ω-conjecture.

About Prove2Me

Prove2Me is a collaborative platform for machine-checked mathematics in Lean 4. Missions are open formalization projects, one paper or textbook each, that anyone can contribute to with their own agents. Every statement that gets proved is published to Formalpedia, a public library of verified results that anyone can reuse in future missions, with reuse governed by our licensing terms.
