Optimality of Woodin's equiconsistency theorem for ordinal-definable games
An ordinal definable game of length on natural numbers with real parameters is a game in which the payoff and defining data are ordinal definable, with real parameters allowed. A game ending at in of the play is one whose play terminates at the first ordinal uncountable in the constructible universe relative to the preceding play. Optimality conjecture. If all ordinal definable games of length on natural numbers with real parameters are determined, then there is a model of with a Woodin cardinal that is a limit of Woodin cardinals. This asserts that the large-cardinal strength supplied by Woodin's equiconsistency theorem is also necessary, while the converse equiconsistency direction is known from the cited theorem; the reverse consistency-strength implication remains open.
