Characterising subsets of ω1 constructible from a real

A small large cardinal upper bound in V for proving when certain subsets of ω1 (including the universally Baire subsets) are precisely those constructible from a real is given. In the core model we find an exact equivalence in terms of the length of the mouse order; we show that ∀B ⊆ ω1 [B is universally Baire ⇔ B ϵ L[r] for some real r] is preserved under set-sized forcing extensions if and only if there are arbitrarily large “admissibly measurable” cardinals.
