Abstract

We consider natural ${\rm{\Sigma }}_2^1$ definable analogues of many of the classical statements that have been shown to be equivalent to CH. It is shown that these ${\rm{\Sigma }}_2^1$ analogues are equivalent to that all reals are constructible. We also prove two partition relations for ${\rm{\Sigma }}_2^1$ colourings which hold precisely when there is a non-constructible real.
