Definitional complexity of truth in $L$ without $0^{\#}$

Cross posted from MSE at commenter's suggestion: https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/2269319/definability-of-truth-in-l-without-0 I'm interested in the relationship between the existence of $0^{ …

Does ZF minus infinity imply collection?

ZF - Inf does imply Collection. Fix a set $X$ and a property $P$ (which can be formalized in terms of a formula and a parameter). Since we have separation, we may assume for all $x \in X,$ there is $y …

Example of a $\Pi^2_2$ sentence?

The Suslin hypothesis is $\Pi^2_2,$ and $T = ZFC + GCH + LC$ (LC an arbitrary large cardinal axiom) does not prove it to be equivalent to any $\Sigma^2_2$ sentence. Suppose toward contradiction $T$ pr …

Absoluteness, reflection to ctms, and choice in outer models

Last night I was thinking about some related statements which follow from ZF+DC, but it actually seems they only need DC to hold in some outer model of the universe. In particular, let $M \models ZF.$ …

Definability of isomorphisms between class well-orderings

Inspired by this question, I've been trying to figure out for myself the basic properties of definable class well-orderings in transitive models $M$ of ZFC: What is $\omega_1^{CK}(\mathsf{Ord})$? The …

How many iterations of inner models/generic extensions are sufficient?

Let $M=M_0$ be a ctm of ZF. If $(M_0, \ldots, M_n)$ is a sequence of ctms of ZF, where for all $i,$ either $M_{i+1}$ is an inner model of $M_i$ or a generic extension of $M_i,$ then call $M_n$ an $n …

Can one exhibit an explicit Kuratowski infinite set without invoking Replacement?

The answer is no. Let ZC' be ZFC without replacement and infinity and with the assertion there is a Kuratowski infinite set. We will construct a model $M$ of ZC' such that only hereditarily finite ele …

Consistency of embedding cardinals in linear orderings

Partial answer for the newly formulated axiom, which I'll just call Ax. First, Ax does imply GCH. Assume Ax and suppose GCH first fails at $\kappa.$ Let $L=(2^{\kappa} \setminus \{\alpha \mapsto 0, \ …

If $X$ a subset of ordinals, is $M[X]$ a generic extension?

It is not true in general that $M[X]$ is a generic extension of $M,$ even in the case $X \subset \omega.$ For example, such an $X$ could code a well-ordering of $\omega$ of type $o(M),$ in which case …

Products of Cohen forcings

The answer is yes. Lemma: There is a function $F: 2^{\lambda} \rightarrow 2^{\lambda}$ such that for every $S \in [\lambda]^{\lambda}$ and function $g: \lambda \setminus S \rightarrow 2,$ $F$ restric …

Ideal-like filter on a ring not generated by ring ideals

This does not hold for all commutative rings, but it does hold for Noetherian rings and for valuation rings (assuming the convention that filters don't contain $\emptyset,$ or else $\mathcal{P}(R)$ is …

Is Global Choice conservative over Zermelo with Choice?

Edit: Here's my preprint filling in the details of the construction in this answer: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2312.11902.pdf Global Choice is not conservative over ZC. We'll build a model of ZC which sati …

Is $V=L$ equivalent to there being a $\Sigma_1$ well-ordering of the universe?

Working in ZF, it's well-known that for any $n \ge 2,$ the claim that there is a $\Sigma_n$ well-ordering of the universe is equivalent to the axiom $V=HOD.$ It seems natural to believe there should b …

Which $L$-like principles are known to be relatively consistent with large cardinals?

For which of the standard large cardinal axioms $\varphi_{LC}$ and which $L$-like principles $\psi$ (e.g. GCH, $\mathrm{V}=\mathrm{HOD},$ the ground axiom, and various diamond and square principles) i …
