Assuming AD and that κ is less than Θ, the paper shows the ABCD hypothesis holds for infinite cardinals below κ.
- Why it matters: The goal is to connect determinacy principles from infinite games to cardinal arithmetic, addressing when exponentiation behaves in a specific “ABCD” way.
- What they did: The author uses AD and the definition of Θ as the supremum of ordinals onto which ℝ surjects, then proves the ABCD equivalence for cardinals below κ.
- The result: Under these assumptions, the equivalence in the ABCD hypothesis is established below κ, showing determinacy can enforce this cardinal-exponentiation pattern in that range.
