Iterated mantle and HOD coincidence conjecture

About 15 years old · traced to

Let VV be a model of ZFC{\rm ZFC} and let α≤ORD\alpha\leq\mathop{\rm ORD}. In another model V‾\overline{V} of ZFC{\rm ZFC}, write (Mα)V‾({\mathord{\rm M}}^\alpha)^{\overline{V}} and (gMα)V‾({\mathord{\rm gM}}^\alpha)^{\overline{V}} for the α\alphath inner mantle and inner generic mantle, and write (HODα)V‾({\rm HOD}^\alpha)^{\overline{V}} and (gHODα)V‾({\mathord{\rm g}{\rm HOD}}^\alpha)^{\overline{V}} for the α\alphath iterated inner HOD and inner generic HOD. Iterated mantle and HOD coincidence conjecture. If VV is any model of ZFC{\rm ZFC}, then for any α≤ORD\alpha\leq\mathop{\rm ORD}, there is another model V‾\overline{V} of ZFC{\rm ZFC} in which VV is simultaneously the α\alphath inner mantle, the α\alphath generic inner mantle, the α\alphath inner HOD, and the α\alphath inner generic HOD:

V=(Mα)V‾=(gMα)V‾=(HODα)V‾=(gHODα)V‾.V=({\mathord{\rm M}}^\alpha)^{\overline{V}}=({\mathord{\rm gM}}^\alpha)^{\overline{V}}=({\rm HOD}^\alpha)^{\overline{V}}=({\mathord{\rm g}{\rm HOD}}^\alpha)^{\overline{V}}.

This extends the preceding inner-mantle conjecture to generic mantles and iterated HOD constructions, asserting that all four processes can be arranged to reach any prescribed model of ZFC{\rm ZFC} at any ordinal stage; its status is open.
