Abstract.

A DO model (here also referred to a Paris model) is a model of set theory all of whose ordinals are first order definable in . Jeffrey Paris (1973) initiated the study of DO models and showed that (1) every consistent extension T of ZF has a DO model, and (2) for complete extensions T, T has a unique DO model up to isomorphism iff T proves V=OD. Here we provide a comprehensive treatment of Paris models. Our results include the following:

1. If T is a consistent completion of ZF+V≠OD, then T has continuum-many countable nonisomorphic Paris models.

2. Every countable model of ZFC has a Paris generic extension.

3. If there is an uncountable well-founded model of ZFC, then for every infinite cardinal κ there is a Paris model of ZF of cardinality κ which has a nontrivial automorphism.

4. For a model ZF, is a prime model ⇒ is a Paris model and satisfies AC⇒ is a minimal model. Moreover, Neither implication reverses assuming Con(ZF).
