continuity points of elementary embeddings from $0^\sharp$

Suppose $0^\sharp$ exists, and let $\langle \alpha_i : i \in \text{Ord}\rangle$ be the Silver indiscernibles for $L$. Let $j : L \to L$ be the embedding generated by mapping $\alpha_n$ to $\alpha_{n+ …

Is categoricity retained when reducing the language?

Suppose $\mathcal L \subseteq \mathcal L’$ are first-order languages, $\kappa$ is a cardinal, and $T’$ is a theory in $\mathcal L’$ that is $\kappa$-categorical. Let $T = T’ \restriction \mathcal L$. …

bijections and order types

Suppose $\kappa$ is an infinite cardinal and $\alpha$ is an ordinal of cardinality $\kappa$. Is it possible to find a bijection $f : \kappa \to \alpha$ such that for all $x \subseteq\kappa$, $\mathrm …

Internal vs. external definability of inner models

Suppose $\kappa$ is an inaccessible cardinal. Is the following situation consistent? There is $p \in V_\kappa$ and a formula $\phi(x)$ such that there is exactly one $M \subseteq V_\kappa$ such tha …

For ideals, does normal imply countably complete?

The following little question has bugged me for a while. Suppose $Z \subseteq \mathcal P(X)$. We say an ideal $I$ on $Z$ is normal when it is closed under diagonal unions, which means that if $\{ A_x …

Veličković's model game

This question is about the argument for Lemma 3.7 in Forcing axioms and stationary sets (MSN) by Boban Veličković. He defines a game $G_\alpha$ between two players, playing objects in $H_\kappa$, depe …

A strengthening of Chang's conjectures

In the Handbook of Set Theory, Foreman has (essentially) the following proposition (3.9): Suppose $\kappa_n>...>\kappa_0$ and $\lambda_n>...>\lambda_0$ are regular cardinals and $(\kappa_n,...,\ka …

Skolem Hulls in $H_{\omega_2}$

I put this on stack exchange over a week ago with no answer, so let's try here. Consider a model of the form $\mathfrak{A} = (H_{\omega_2}, \in, \lhd, f_0, f_1, ...)$, some expansion of $H_{\omega_2} …

Amalgamation via elementary embeddings

Can there exist three transitive models of ZFC with the same ordinals, $M_0,M_1,N$, such that there are elementary embeddings $j_i : M_i \to N$ for $i<2$, but there is no elementary embedding from $M_ …

End-extending cardinals

Let us say a cardinal $\kappa$ end-extending if there is a function $F : V_\kappa^{<\omega} \to V_\kappa$ such that: (a) If $M \subseteq V_\kappa$ is closed under $F$, then $M \prec V_\kappa$. (b) If …

Solovay’s model

Solovay proved that if $\kappa$ is inaccessible, then if we adjoin a generic $G \subseteq \mathrm{Col}(\omega,{<}\kappa)$, then in the extension, every set of reals in $L(\mathbb R)$ is Baire- and Leb …

Is there a name for this operation on integer functions?

Suppose $f$ and $g$ are functions from $\mathbb N^+$ to itself. I want to consider the function $f^g$, where $f^g(n) = f \circ \dots \circ f(n)$, where composition is done $g(n)$-many times. Note tha …

$\omega_1$-approximation property for Sacks iteration— contradiction in literature?

The following is a folklore result. Suppose $P$ is a countable support iteration of nontrivial forcings, $\langle P_\alpha, \dot{Q}_\alpha : \alpha < \omega_1 \rangle$. Then there is a complete embe …

Countably closed end-extensions of elementary submodels

The following is well-known. If $\kappa$ is measurable, $\theta > \kappa$, and $M \prec V_\theta$ has size $<\kappa$, then there is $N\prec V_\theta$ such that $N \supseteq M$, $M \cap \kappa \not= N …
