Condensation lemma

In set theory, a branch of mathematics, the condensation lemma is a result about sets in the constructible universe.

It states that if L_α is a level of the constructible hierarchy, X is an elementary submodel of the model $(L_\alpha,\in)$ then $(X,\in)$ is isomorphic to some $(L_\beta,\in)$, $\beta\leq\alpha$.

The lemma was formulated and proved by Kurt Gödel in his proof that the axiom of constructibility implies GCH.
