The Implicitly Constructible Universe

Abstract

We answer several questions posed by Hamkins and Leahy concerning the implicitly constructible universe, Imp. Specifically, we show that it is relatively consistent with ZFC that Imp satisfies the negation of CH, that Imp is not HOD, and that Imp satisfies V $\neq$ Imp, or in other words, that $(Imp)^{Imp}\neq Imp$.
