The transitive collapse of an ultraproduct of $V$ is an inner model












1












$begingroup$


So this is the situation: Let $U$ be an ultrafilter over a set $S$ and let $M_U$ be the transitive collapse of $text{Ult}(V, U)$. $M_U$ is an inner model of ZFC.





Thus far i have used Los's theorem to prove that for every sentence $varphi$, $text{Ult}(V, U) models varphi leftrightarrow {i in S: V models varphi } in U$, which was easy and shows that $M_U$ is a model of ZFC. But now i have no idea on how to show that $text{Ord} subseteq M_U$. I would be really grateful for any hints or answers.

          Either show that the embedding from $V$ to $M_U$ does not lower ranks.



          Or else simply note that $M_U$ is unbounded in size (as the embedding is injective) and for any $x in M_U$, $operatorname{rk}(x) in M_U$ since $M_U$ satisfies ZFC (and $operatorname{rk}$ is absolute for transitive models).

            I think it is easier to see that the ordinals of the ultraproduct collapse to actual ordinals, and there is a proper class of them, as can be seen by considering constant functions.
