We know that whether $|P(x)|=|P(y)|$ implies $|X|=|Y|$ is dependent on CH. Let $W(X)$ be the set of all well orders over $X$. Does $|W(X)|=|W(Y)|$ imply $|X|=|Y|$? Is the answer dependent on CH? More generally, what axioms do we need to show $|W(X)|=|P(X)|$? Is a bijection between them constructible?

    $\begingroup$ Isn't $|P(X)|=|W(X)|$ just true in ZFC for all infinite $X$? $\endgroup$ Commented Nov 2 at 13:30

    $\begingroup$ @AlessandroCodenotti It is, and the OP should know this from the answer to their previous question: mathoverflow.net/a/481412 . $\endgroup$ Commented Nov 2 at 13:47
