At what ordinal $\chi$ does $\mathrm{L}_\chi$ contain a surjection from $\omega$ to $\mathrm...
By replacement in $L_{\beta_0}$, there is no function from $\omega$ to $L_{\beta_0}$ that is definable over $L_{\beta_0}$ from parameters. Therefore no such function is in $L_{\beta_0+1}$. On the othe …

Must there be a proper class of Reinhardt cardinals if there is a Reinhardt cardinal?
No, if the existence of a Reinhardt is consistent, then it is consistent with a Reinhardt cardinal that the class of inaccessible cardinals is bounded in the ordinals. Indeed, if $j : V\to V$ is a non …

Consistency strength of strongly compact cardinal
Steel [1] showed that if $\square_\kappa$ fails for some singular strong limit $\kappa$, then $\text{AD}$ holds in ${L(\mathbb R)}$. Since Solovay showed a strongly compact cardinal implies the failur …

Ultrafilter projections and critical points of factor maps
You will always have $N = M$ and $k = \text{id}$. As Joel mentions, this uses Solovay's lemma that $M = H^M(\text{ran}(j)\cup \{\sup j[\lambda]\})$. We can use this to show that $k$ is surjective, by …

Are Berkeley cardinals easier to refute in ZFC than Reinhardt cardinals?
Yes, it is easier to refute Berkeleys than Reinhardts. There is a very simple refutation of Berkeleys in ZFC that is due to Woodin. It is part of the motivation for his contention that Berkeley cardin …

Natural set-theoretic principles implying the Ground Axiom
The existence of a proper class of supercompact cardinals $\kappa$ that are indestructible by $\kappa$-directed closed forcing implies the Ground Axiom. This is because it implies the Continuum Coding …

Is there a form of choice that can elude Kunen's inconsistency theorem?
Work of Usuba combined with work of Woodin shows that if there is a Reinhardt cardinal $\kappa$ that is a limit of Lowenheim-Skolem cardinals, then there is a forcing extension in which $\kappa$ remai …

Can there be no complexity bound on the definable elementary $V\rightarrow M$?
Yes, this is possible. If there is a proper class of measurable cardinals and $V = \text{HOD}$, then any class of ordinals $A$ is definably encoded by the iterated ultrapower $j_A : V\to M$ that hits …

Locating generic filters in the Lévy collapse
Note that the lemma doesn't show that $h$ is in $V[G]$, it assumes this. But yes, if $h\in V[G]$ is a subset of a set $X\in V$ such that $|X| < \kappa$, then for some $\beta < \kappa$, $h\in V[G\restr …

If GCH is breached the same way before a singular of uncountable cofinality, would that brea...
One can collapse $2^\lambda$ to have cardinality $\lambda^+$ without adding $\lambda$-sequences even if $\lambda$ is singular. Therefore one could start with $2^{\aleph_\alpha} = \aleph_{\alpha+2}$ fo …

A Baire subset of reals that is not Suslin measurable
What you are calling Suslin measurable sets are also known as coanalytic sets (in the context of ZF + DC). The coanalytic sets are the sets obtained by applying your version of the Suslin operation to …

Can $\mathsf{Ord}$ be weakly compact from a second-order perspective?
If $\kappa$ is weakly compact and there is a wellorder of $V_{\kappa+1}$ definable over $V_{\kappa+1}$ without parameters, then second order logic is Loraxian for $V_\kappa$: the least branch through …

Is this definability principle consistent?
There is a consistent omniscient theory, at least assuming the consistency of a Woodin limit of Woodin cardinals.
The Maximality Principle (MP) asserts that if a sentence is forceable in $V$, it is fo …

Whatever happened to $L(j)$?
I recently noticed that Mitchell returned to $L[j]$ in "Applications of the covering lemma for sequences of measures," where he shows that the model is quite a bit larger than one might expect. The th …
