iterable cardinal

In mathematics, an iterable cardinal is a type of large cardinal introduced by {{harvs|txt|last=Gitman|year=2011}}, and {{harvs|txt|last1=Sharpe|last2=Welch|year=2011}}, and further studied by {{harvs|txt|last=Gitman|last2=Welch|year=2011}}. Sharpe and Welch defined a cardinal κ to be iterable if every subset of κ is contained in a weak κ-model M for which there exists an M-ultrafilter on κ which allows for wellfounded iterations by ultrapowers of arbitrary length.

Gitman gave a finer notion, where a cardinal κ is defined to be α-iterable

if ultrapower iterations only of length α are required to wellfounded. (By standard arguments iterability is equivalent to ω1-iterability.)
