On certain order-automorphisms of the rationals
Consider the rationals $\mathbb{Q}$ with the usual order $\leq$. Now let $A$ be a subset of $\mathbb{Q}$, such that foreseen with the induced order $\leq$, $(A,\leq)$ is a dense linear order.

Extending a partial order while preserving an automorphism
It is well known that if $(P, \leq)$ is a partial order then $\leq$ can always be extended to a linear order. This is sometimes called Szpilrajn´s theorem although it had been previously proved by ...

Example of $\aleph_1$-categorical linear order
Is it possible to have an $L_{\omega_1,\omega}$-sentence $\phi$ in a vocabulary that includes $<$ that satisfies the following?
$<$ is a linear order on a definable subset;
$\phi$ is $\aleph_1$-...

Can one define in ZFC a directed system of embeddings on the class of all linear orders realizing the surreal line as the direct limit?
Consider the surreal line $\langle\newcommand\No{\text{No}}\No,\leq\rangle$, in its order structure only. This is a proper class linear order, which is universal for all set-sized linear orders, as ...

Upward Löwenheim–Skolem theorem for well-ordered models with/without measurable cardinals
Consider a complete first order theory $T$ whose language contains a binary predicate $\leq$. Assume that $T$ has an uncountable model that is well-ordered by $\leq$ so that this question isn't stupid ...

Fundamental theorem of linear orders
Let $(\Omega,\leq)$ be a countable linear order. Suppose that for every finite $m \in \mathbb{N}$, and all subsets $S_1$ and $S_2$ of $\Omega$ of order $m$, there is an order-automorphism of $(\Omega,\...
