The PFA-to-superstrong-cardinal conjecture in the uB derived model

About 2 years old · traced to

Assume that the Proper Forcing Axiom PFA⁡\operatorname{PFA} holds. Let κ≥ω2\kappa\geq\omega_2, and let gg be Col⁡(ω,κ)\operatorname{Col}(\omega,\kappa)-generic over VV. Then

there is a superstrong cardinal in HOD⁡L(uBg,Rg).\text{there is a superstrong cardinal in }\operatorname{HOD}^{L({{\sf{uB}}}_g,\mathbb{R}_g)}.

PFA-to-superstrong-cardinal conjecture. Under these hypotheses, there is a superstrong cardinal in HOD⁡L(uBg,Rg)\operatorname{HOD}^{L({{\sf{uB}}}_g,\mathbb{R}_g)}.

This is a typical target of the core model induction, connecting forcing axioms with large-cardinal strength in canonical determinacy models. The source states that the conjecture is currently open even when a Woodin limit of Woodin cardinals is assumed instead of a superstrong cardinal.
