Abstract

We give a level-by-level analysis of the Weak Vopěnka Principle for definable classes of relational structures ( WVP ), in accordance with the complexity of their definition, and we determine the large-cardinal strength of each level. Thus, in particular, we show that WVP for $\Sigma_2$-definable classes is equivalent to the existence of a strong cardinal. The main theorem (Theorem 5.11) shows, more generally, that WVP for $\Sigma_n$-definable classes is equivalent to the existence of a $\Sigma_n$-strong cardinal (Definition 5.1). Hence, WVP is equivalent to the existence of a $\Sigma_n$-strong cardinal for all $n<\omega$.
