Concerning Silver's result
Jack Silver proved that if $x$ is a real so that every $x$-admissible ordinal is a cardinal in $L$, then $0^{\sharp}$ exists.
I wonder whether various weaker or stronger versions of Silver's result ...

Can two versions of $\omega_1^{CK}(\mathsf{Ord})$ ever coincide?
The goal of this question is to fill in the gap in this old answer of mine.
For a transitive set $M$, thought of as an $\{\in\}$-structure, we define the following ordinals (this is not the notation ...

How big is the least non-$\Sigma^1_1$-pointwise-definable ordinal?
There's a large countable ordinal which has cropped up (as a lower bound!) in a computable structure theory problem I'm playing with. At present I don't really understand how big it is, and I'm ...

"Robinson arithmetic" for (some) levels of $L$?
I'll write "$\mathcal{L}_\alpha$" for the fragment $\mathcal{L}_{\infty,\omega}\cap L_\alpha$.
Say that a countable admissible $\alpha$ is Robinsonian if there is some sentence $\varphi\in\mathcal{L}...

Definition of HYP in $L_{\omega_1^{CK}}[a]$?
The structure $L_{\omega_1^{CK}}$ consists of only HYP sets (I believe) and HYP in this structure is the same as the actual hyperaritmetic sets. Now if I move to the structure $L_{\omega_1^{CK}}[a]$ ...

Detecting comprehension topologically
This question basically follows this earlier question of mine but shifting from standard systems of nonstandard models of $PA$ to $\omega$-models of $RCA_0$. For $X$ a Turing ideal we get the map $c_X$...
