Abstract:

Assume $V = L$. Let $\kappa$ be a regular cardinal and for $X \subseteq \kappa$ let $\alpha (X)$ denote the least ordinal $\alpha$ such that ${L_\alpha }[X]$ is admissible. In this paper we characterize those ordinals of the form $\alpha (X)$ using forcing and fine structure of $L$ techniques. This generalizes a theorem of Sacks which deals with the case $\kappa = \omega$.
