Contents

There is a least proper class transitive model of set theory - the constructible universe L - which was constructed by Gödel. We study its properties and aim for a proof of Jensen's covering theorem via a variant of fine structure theory. The covering theorem states that either there is a nontrivial elementary embedding from L to L, or the universe is close to L in a precise sense.
