AD+

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from AD plus)

In set theory, AD+ is an extension, proposed by W. Hugh Woodin, to the axiom of determinacy. The axiom, which is to be understood in the context of ZF plus DCR (the axiom of dependent choice for real numbers), states two things:

  1. Every set of real numbers is ∞-Borel.
  2. For any ordinal λ < Θ, any A ⊆ ωω, and any continuous function πλω → ωω, the preimage π−1[A] is determined. (Here, λω is to be given the product topology, starting with the discrete topology on λ.)

The second clause by itself is referred to as ordinal determinacy.
