Is the union of two conservative extensions of a theory conservative?
As Emil pointed out, assuming $\Sigma=\Sigma_1\cap\Sigma_2$, the union of 2 such theories is always conservative extension, Emil had proven it using the standard formulation Robinson’s joint consisten …

Can having no more than countably many classes, be inferred from, having every class being c...
As stated in the comments, I misread the definition of the theory and assumed it is completely in infinitary logic, while in reality the ZFC+classes fragment is still in finitary logic, so the answer …

Which fragment of ZF does the class of all hereditarily predicatively definable sets capture?
HPD satisfy extensionality and regularity trivially.
It satisfy Pairing, as if $x,y\in HPD$ we can explicitly write down the definition of $(x,y)$ using only $x,y$ as parameters (and they have strictl …

Does n-well ordered choice schema imply the axiom of choice?
$2$-well ordered choice is enough to imply AC.
Let $α$ be any ordinal, and look at $\mathcal P^2(α)\setminus\{\emptyset\}$.
We have $x\in^2 \mathcal P^2(α)\setminus\{\emptyset\}⇒∃z⊆\mathcal P(α)\;(x\i …

Weak trichotomy principle in the absence of choice
It is well known that the trichotomy property of cardinals ($∀κ,λ\in\operatorname{Card}(κ<λ∨κ=λ∨κ>λ)$) is equivalent to the axiom of choice.
D. Feldman and M. Orhon had defined in [1] a generalization …

The additive structure of clusters of nonstandard models of arithmetic
Given $\frak M$ a countable nonstandard model of $\sf PA$ and let $a\in M$ be a nonstandard element. A "cluster around $a$" is the set of successors and predecessors of $a$, a cluster is a subset of $ …

Building the real from Dedekind finite sets
It is well known that the real numbers can be countable union of countable sets by starting with GCH and taking a finite support permutations while collapsing all of $\aleph_n$ for natural $n$.
The id …

Scott's trick without regularity
In ZF(C), one can easily get a class partition of $V$, we can even get an $\mathrm{Ord}$-partition using the Cumulative hierarchy: $P=\{V_{α+1}\setminus V_α\mid α∈\mathrm{Ord}\}$, such a partition let …

Simpler proofs using the axiom of choice
There is an interesting class of problems that are provable in $ZF$ by "coincidence" in the sense that either (a fragment of) $AC$ holds and then it is provable from the proof in $ZFC$, or there speci …

Injection into a proper class and choice without regularity
In $\sf ZF$, we have that the axiom of choice is equivalent to:
For all sets $X$, and for all proper classes $Y$, $X$ inject into $Y$
and
For all sets $X$, and for all proper classes $Y$, $Y …

Can we iteratively reflect on self elementary embeddable stages of the cumulative hierarchy?
Any model of $ZF$+stationary proper class of $I3$ ordinals (whose consistency strength is at most $ZF$+$I2$) where $W_α$ is listing of $V_{κ}$ where $κ$ is $I3$ and $j_α$ the witness of $I3(V_κ)$ will …

Can we iteratively reflect on self elementary embeddable stages of the cumulative hierarchy?
$\newcommand\Ord{\mathit{Ord}}$The edit to the question has changed it enough so I think it deserves its own answer.
I assume that in reflection we have $\forall \vec{x} \in W_\alpha \, (\phi \to \ph …

Does cardinal definable choice imply AC?
Over ZF yes, it does.
Let $X$ be any family of nonempty sets, and let $κ$ be cardinal such that $ρ(κ)>ρ(X)$, then $V_{ρ(κ)}\setminus\{∅\}$ is cardinal definable, hence has a choice function that induc …

How do these two principles of Foundation written in $\mathcal L_{\omega_1,\omega}$ compare?
Your axiom schema is equivalent to being an $\omega$-model.
Working inside an $\omega$-model, any counter example to your schema will be counter example of the axiom of foundation of ZFC, as you can u …

Is ZF + Def a conservative extension of ZFC+HOD? If not, what are counter-examples?
Any model of ${\sf ZFC}+V=\sf HOD$ has an elementary equivalent pointwise definable model.
If $M$ models $V=\sf HOD$, it has a parameter free definable well ordering, for each formula $φ$ consider the …
