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 …

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 …

Large cardinal near inconsistencies

I would argue that a "restricting versions" of large cardinals are such. Starting from the top down, we have the inconsistent Berkeley cardinals: $κ$ is Berkeley if for every transitive $M\ni\kappa$ …

Why we need to choose direction in the "marry the arrows" algorithm?

This exact point was discussed in that paper few paragraph before your quote: Imagine for a moment that the strings of arrows represent streets— circular drives, in the case of necklaces, and long bo …

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 …

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 …

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 …

Preserve unbounded sets between different cofinality

Working in ZFC, let $\kappa,λ$ be cardinals with $\kappa>λ$, and assume that $\kappa$ is regular. We say that a function $F:\kappa^n→λ$, for some finite $n$, is preserving unbound, if for all $a⊆\kap …

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 …

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 …

Exactly how much (and how little) can partial ordered sets (classes) embed to the cardinalities

In the paper "Convex Sets of Cardinals", Truss mentioned a result of Jech: If $M$ is a countable transitive model of ZFC, and $(P,<)∈M$ is a poset, then there exists a Cohen extension of $M$ such tha …

Automorphisms of vector spaces and the complex numbers without choice

This is not a full answer, but it is too long to be a comment. Let $B(F)$ for field $F$ be the statement "every vector space over $F$ has a basis" and let $AL19(F)$ be the statement "for every vector …

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 …

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 …
