Abstract

Many well-known determinacy results calibrate determinacy strength in terms of large cardinals (e.g., a measurable cardinal) or a "large cardinal type" property (e.g., zero sharp exists). Some of the other results are of the form that subsets of reals of a certain complexity will satisfy a well-known property when a certain amount of determinacy holds. The standard game tree considered in the study of determinacy involves games in which all moves are from omega and all plays have length omega (i.e. the game tree is omega^
