Ramified forcing

Ramified forcing

In mathematics, ramified forcing is the original form of forcing introduced by harvtxt|Cohen|1963. Ramified forcing starts with a model "M" of V = L, and builds up larger model "M" ["G"] of ZF by adding a generic subset "G" of a poset to "M", by imitating Godel's constructible hierarchy. Scott and Solovay realized that the use of constructible sets was an unnecessary complication, and could be replaced by a simpler construction similar to von Neumann's construction of the universe as a union of sets "R"(α) for ordinals α. (This simplification was originally called "unramified forcing" harv|Schoenfield|1971, but is now usually just called "forcing".) As a result, ramified forcing is only rarely used.
