Abstract

We show that if there is no inner model with a Woodin cardinal and the Steel core model K exists, then every Jónsson cardinal is Ramsey in K, and every δ-Jónsson cardinal is δ5-Erdős in K.

In the absence of the Steel core model K we prove the same conclusion for any model L[] such that either V = L[] is the minimal model for a Woodin cardinal, or there is no inner model with a Woodin cardinal and V is a generic extension of L[].

The proof includes one lemma of independent interest: If V = L[A], where A ⊂ κ and κ is regular, then L κ[A] is a Jónsson algebra. The proof of this result. Lemma 2.5, is very short and entirely elementary.
