Abstract

We combine two techniques of set theory relating to mininal degrees of constructibility. Jensen constructed a minimal real which is additionally a singleton. Groszek built an initial segment of order type 1 + α*, for any ordinal α. This paper shows how to force a singleton such that the c-degrees beneath it, all represented by reals, are of type 1 + α*, for many ordinals α. We also examine the definability α needs to be so represented by a real.
