A Comparison Process for Mouse Pairs - Steel, John R

. .

Résumé :
This book proves some important new theorems in the theory of canonical inner models for large cardinal hypotheses, a topic of central importance in modern set theory. It also contains a good deal of background material, some of it unpublished folklore, making it an accessible introduction to the higher reaches of inner model theory.
