Scott-Solovay unpublished paper on ``Boolean valued models of set theory''

I have read some papers from 1970$^{th}$, and in some of them, the paper of Scott and Solovay on ``Boolean valued models of set theory'' is given as a main reference, with many references to the resul …

Bernstein's proof of the continuum hypothesis

In the paper The Continuumproblem, Felix Bernstein introduces a new axiom and uses it to conclude the continuum hypothesis. (1) As the paper is relatively old and the writing style is somehow informal …

On the number of complete Boolean algebras

In their 1972 paper On the number of complete Boolean algebras Monk and Solovay showed that if $\lambda$ is an infinite cardinal, then there are $2^{2^\lambda}$ many isomorphism types of complete Boo …

Product of nice proper forcing notions

Question Are there forcing notions $P$ and $Q$ such that $P$ is proper and $\aleph_2$-cc, $Q$ is proper and satisfies the $\aleph_2$-pic (pic=properness isomorphism condition) such that $P \times Q$ i …

c.c.c forcing notions and adding minimal generic reals

Is the following statement consistent: ``There is no non-trivial c.c.c forcing notion adding a minimal generic real''? The question is related to Prikry's question: Is it consistent that any non-tr …

ZFC applications of Shelah's creature forcing

Shelah's creature forcing is a very powerful method, with wide range of applications. The method also has some applications in ZFC, let's quote a few of them that I am aware of: (1) In A partition the …

Reinhardt cardinals and iterability

Work in $ZF$. Let $j:V\to V$ be a non-trivial elementary embedding which is iterable, so that we can iterate it and form models $M_\alpha, \alpha\in ON,$ with $M_0=V,$ and elementary embeddings $j_{\a …

PFA for cardinal preserving forcing notions and the CH

Let $FA_{\aleph_1}$(cardinal preserving proper forcings) be the forcing axiom: if $\mathbb{P}$ is a cardinal preserving proper forcing notion and $(D_\xi)_{\xi<\omega_1}$ are dense subsets of $\mathb …

Forcing notions adding minimal reals

I am looking for a comprehensive list of known forcing notions which add a minimal real into the ground model. I know some of them like the Sacks forcing, or the Judah-Shelah's example of a c.c.c. for …

Applications of Set theory vs. model theory in mathematics

I have a question that has occupied my mind for some time. Let's first consider applications of set theory and model theory in mathematics. Major applications of set theory are in topology, Banach spa …

Topological Vaught's conjecture for special theories

As is know, Vaught's conjecture is a special case of topological Vaught's conjecture. On the other hand, the Vaught's conjecture is true for the following theories: 1- $\omega$-stable theories (Shel …

Singular Jonsson cardinals

Is the following consistent? $(*)$: There exists a singular cardinal $\kappa$ such that : (1) $\kappa$ is a Jonsson cardinal, (2) $\kappa$ is not a fixed point of the $\aleph-$function, i.e., $\kappa …

The axiom $I_0$ in the absence of $AC$

It is well-known that if $AC$ holds and if $j: L(V_{\lambda+1}) \to L(V_{\lambda+1})$ is a non-trivial elementary embedding with $crit(j) < \lambda,$ then $\lambda$ has countable cofinality (and in fa …
