Global Choice bi-interpretable with Global Wellorder?

The answer to the first question is yes: Global Choice is bi-interpretable with Global Well-Ordering. First, I will prove that a class linear order $(C, <)$ is a well-ordering iff every subset (rather …

Surreals and NSA: some foundational issues

Problem 1: There is a definable proper class saturated real-closed field $\mathbb{R}^*$, defined by a slight modification of your and Shelah's construction, such that there is an $\mathrm{OD}_p$ injec …

Do the surreal numbers enjoy the transfer principle in ZFC?

A partial answer to the focused question: it's not provable in ZFC that there is an OD class $\mathbb{Z}^*$ such that $(\mathbb{R}, +, \cdot, \mathbb{Z}) \equiv (\mathrm{No}, +, \cdot, \mathbb{Z}^*).$ …

Is it consistent with ZFC that the real line is approachable by sets with no accumulation po...

Here's a ZF proof that if $S$ is a chain of sets with $\bigcup S = \mathbb{R},$ then there is $X \in S$ which contains a countable set dense in some nonempty open set. If there is $X \in S$ such that …

Must strange sequences wear Russellian socks?

For $n \ge 2$ and $\langle A_i \rangle$ such that $|A_i| = n$ for all $i,$ TFAE: $|\prod A_i| \neq |\mathbb{R}|.$ $\bigsqcup A_i$ is uncountable. $\bigsqcup A_i$ is un-orderable. There are $k \in [2, …

Does Well-Ordered Interval Power Set "WOIPS" principle , prove $\sf AC$ in $\sf ZFA$?

I’ll prove the following: over Z set theory, AC is equivalent to cardinal trichotomy holding for the sets between $X$ and $\mathcal{P}^3(X)$ for all infinite $X.$ I suspect the superscript 3 is unnece …

Building the real from Dedekind finite sets

Q1: There is no such partition. Let $\langle X_n \rangle$ be a countable partition of $\mathbb{R}.$ We will construct $n,$ an open interval $I,$ and an injection $g: \omega \rightarrow I \cap X_n$ wit …

Is "the purely probabilistic version of Freiling's axiom of symmetry" disprovable in ZFC?

In any model of ZFC where there is no such set for $c=1$ (e.g., Friedman's model mentioned in Gro-Tsen's answer), there is no $S \subset [0,1]^2$ such that all vertical slices $S_x$ are null and all h …

Gently changing measure

To question 1, there is such a pair. This is a minor reworking of Ashutosh's example you linked. Start with $L,$ add an $\omega_1$-sequence of random reals $X=\langle r_{\alpha}: \alpha<\omega_1 \rang …

The Parity Principle and $\mathbf{C}_2$ (choice for $2$-sets)

Over ZFA, the Parity Principle is strictly weaker. We'll show it follows from Multiple Choice, the assertion that for any family of nonempty sets $\mathcal{F},$ there is $g: \mathcal{F} \rightarrow [\ …

What notable theorems cannot be automatically proven without choice using Shoenfield absolut...

$\text{ZF}+ \text{AC}_{\omega}$ is not $\Sigma^1_4$-conservative over ZF and ZF + DC is not $\Sigma^1_4$-conservative over $\text{ZF}+ \text{AC}_{\omega}.$ An example of the former: the sentence $\ome …

Consistency of a strong Fubini type theorem for measure zero sets

ZFC refutes this principle. Let $\kappa=\text{non}(\mathcal{L}),$ i.e. the least cardinality of a set of reals of positive outer measure. Let $X \subset [0,1]$ be such that $|X|=\kappa$ and $\lambda^* …

The difference between Baire 2 and 'effectively Baire 2'

It's provable in ZF that every Baire-2 function is effectively Baire-2. It suffices to prove the following: (ZF) There is an explicit function which maps each Baire-1 function $f: \mathbb{R} \rightarr …

How hard is it to get "absolutely" no amorphous sets?

Turning my comment into an answer, an $X$ which is the universe of any finitely axiomatized theory with an infinite model must be orderable, and there must be a bijection between between $X$ and $X^2. …

Is every set being cardinal definable consistent with ZF + negation of Choice?

This is consistent. Kanovei constructed a model $M$ with an infinite Dedekind finite set of reals which is lightface projectively definable. By descending to $L(R),$ we can further assume it satisfies …
