Does Con(ZF + Reinhardt) really imply Con(ZFC + I0)?

The answer to your question is (almost) yes (almost is because of the addition of DC to the statement). Recently Gabriel Goldberg has proved ''Con(NBG+DC+Reinhardt)$ \implies$ Con(ZFC+I0)''. …

Can infinity shorten proofs a lot?

Consider the following question of Erdos and Hajnal: Question (Erdos-Hajnal) Is there a finite $K_4$-free graph which, when the edges colored by $2$ colors, always contains a monocolored triangle. T …

What is known about the consistency of $2^{\aleph_\alpha} = \aleph_{\alpha+\gamma}$ for all ...

By a result of Patai, $\gamma$ should be finite (this is exercise 5.15 in Jech's book). For any finite $n>0, H_n$ is consistent, see Merimovich's paper A power function with a fixed finite gap every …

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 …

Does every set of reals contain a measure-zero set of the same cardinality? Does it contain ...

In the paper "Uncountable sets of real numbers with no uncountable subsets of measure zero" it is proved that under the continuum hypothesis, there is an uncountable set of reals which has no uncounta …

Can $\kappa^\lambda$ be large if $2^\lambda$ is small and $\lambda<\mathrm{cof}(\kappa)$?

It is consistent that such a pair exists, see my paper Singular cofinality conjecture and a question of Gorelic. To show that some large cardinals are needed, suppose for example $\lambda=\aleph_0 < \ …

A proper class of ordinals without an infinite constructible subset

Stanley, M. C., A cardinal preserving immune partition of the ordinals, Fundam. Math. 148, No. 3, 199-221 (1995). ZBL0843.03028. An infinite set (or class) of ordinals is said to be immune if it nei …

Latest status of core model theory?

The following may not be an answer to your question, but I think it is related. I have taken it from the introduction of a joint work I am doing with James Cummings and Sy Friedman (which has now appe …

Non-set-theoretic consequences of forcing axioms

Indeed there is a vast of applications, for example: Using Martin's axiom, Shelah showed that there is a non-free Whitehead group. The book `` Consequences of Martin's Axiom'' contains many other exam …

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 $\kappa.$

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 …

By Lemma 2.2. of my paper Shelah's strong covering property and CH in V[r], we can show that: Claim. If $A\subseteq \kappa,$ and if $Y\in L[A]$ is a bounded subset of $\kappa,$ then there exists a …
