Abstract

We characterize, in terms of determinacy, the existence of the least inner model of “every object of type k has a sharp.” For kω, we define two classes of sets, and , which lie strictly between and . Let #k be the (partial) sharp function on objects of type k. We show that the determinacy of follows from

L[#k] ⊨ “every object of type k has a sharp”,

and we show that the existence of indiscemibles for L[#k] is equivalent to a slightly stronger determinacy hypothesis, the determinacy of .
