A question regarding strong cardinals and measure sequence

Let me explain in a few more details the argument. Let $j_0: V \to V$ and for each $n$, let $j_{n+1}: V \to M_n \simeq M_{n+1}=Ult(M_n, j_n(E))$. Then: 1) $j_{n+1}=j \circ j_n,$ 2) $V_{\kappa+2}^\al …

Slim Kurepa tree at a singular strong limit cardinal of uncountable cofinality

The following is proved by Erdos-Hajnal-Milner in ``On sets of almost disjoint subsets of a set. Acta Math. Acad. Sci. Hungar 19 1968 209–218'', from which the required result follows Theorem. ssume …

Does "Every infinite set is splittable" imply $\mathsf{AC}$?

The answer is no and it follows from the following: It is consistent that $AC$ fails but for all infinite cardinals $\kappa, 2 \cdot \kappa=\kappa.$ The above result is proved by Sageev: Sagee …

Is it consistent that the gaps between cardinals $\kappa$ and $2^\kappa$ "get larger and lar...

Yes, in the Foreman-Woodin model for the global failure of $GCH$ your statement is true. See The generalized continuum hypothesis can fail everywhere.

Rigid structure which is generically homogeneous

Yes, it is at least consistent. See: Fuchs, Gunter, Club degrees of rigidity and almost Kurepa trees. Arch. Math. Logic 52 (2013), no. 1-2, 47–66. In this paper a (very) rigid Souslin tree $T$ is co …

Axiom of choice and the equality between second-order constructible universe and HOD

The equality $L_{SO}=HOD$ can not be proved just in $ZF$. This is proved in the paper ``The consistency of the theory $ZF+L^1\neq HOD$'' by Szczepaniak. Here $L^1$ refers to what you named $L_{SO}$. …

What is the status of the assertion "There are arbitrarily large cardinals with the tree pro...

Let me address your question in the comments. If one starts with a weakly compact cardinal $\kappa,$ then there exists a forcing extension in which all cardinals and cofinalities are preserved (in pa …

Is it consistent that $2^{(\cdot)}$ is "surjective" on the class of uncountable ordinals?

By Konig's lemma $cf(2^\kappa) > \kappa,$ so for example $\aleph_\omega$ can never be of the form $2^\kappa$ for any $\kappa.$

Does every Aronszajn tree has a Suslin or a Special subtree?

It is consistent that the answer is no. The following is proved in Beaodouin's thesis ``On uncountable trees and linear orders'', as Theorem 1.10: Theorem. Assume $\kappa^{<\kappa}=\kappa$ and $\D …

Applications of "model-theoretic" forcing

Model theoretic forcing is extended to wider languages with some applications, for example: 1- Model theoretic forcing in analysis which gives an exposition of forcing for metric structures. 2- Shel …

Can there be a tree of height $\omega_2$ having all levels countable, with no cofinal branch?

The following theorem of Kurepa answers the question. Theorem (Kurepa) Suppose that $\kappa$ is regular, $\lambda< \kappa$ , and $T$  is a $\kappa$-tree each of whose levels has cardinality less …

The transcendence degree of $\mathbb R$ after adding a Cohen

I think the following argument might be easier than Hamkins answer. It also does not use AC. So suppose $g$ is a Cohen real. We want to show that there are continuum many mutually generic Cohen reals …

What is the large cardinal strength of the assertion that every $\kappa$-complete filter on ...

Let us call a cardinal $\kappa, \kappa-$compact, if every $\kappa-$complete filter on $\kappa$ extends to a $\kappa-$complete ultrafilter. The following is proved in Gitik's paper On measurable cardi …

Boolean Valued Models of PA

The paper "Partially definable forcing and bounded arithmetic" by A. Atserias and M. Müller presents a very general framework of forcing for models of (week) arithmetic. Its presentation is more clos …

What can the extremely large cardinals tell us about small sets?

The paper Generic $I_0$ at $\aleph_\omega$ by Vincenzo Dimonte might be of interest to you. It introduces the notion of being generic $I_0$ at $\aleph_\omega$ (Def. 3.1 of the paper), and proves sever …
