Easton's Theorem in the presence of Woodin cardinals

Abstract

Under the assumption that δ is a Woodin cardinal and holds, I show that if F is any class function from the regular cardinals to the cardinals such that (1) <(F()), (2) <λ implies F()≤ F(λ), and (3) δ is closed under F, then there is a cofinality-preserving forcing extension in which 2γ= F(γ) for each regular cardinal γ<δ, and in which δ remains Woodin. Unlike the analogous results for supercompact cardinals [Men76] and strong cardinals [FH08], there is no requirement that the function F be locally definable.
