In [J] R. Jensen proved that any model of ZFC can be generically extended to a model of ZFC + (∃aω)(V = L[a]). This extension was made via a class P of forcing conditions. One can ask what can be said about the class HOD in such extensions. In particular one can ask whether V = HOD holds in Jensen's model. A full answer to this question is given by the following assertion:

Theorem. Let N = L[a] be given by forcing with Jensen's conditions (the classP).

Then:

1. NVHOD,

2. N ⊨ (∀n < ω)(HODn + 1HODω).

3. N ⊨ (∀αω)(HODα = HODω), or equivalently HODω + 1 = HODω.

The result is established by investigating homogeneity properties of certain complete Boolean algebras that are associated with the partial orderings of forcing conditions for coding using almost disjoint sets.

We explain shortly the first of our two technical results: It is rather well known that if we have a subset then by performing threefold almost disjoint coding we come to a set a0ω such that ; cf. [JS]. This is achieved by iterating over almost disjoint forcing . That means we first code by a subset , of [ω1ω2) using the almost disjoint forcing conditions . Then we code by aω, contained in [ω, ω1), using forcing with over .
