Weakly compact cardinals in $L$: how long do branches take to appear?

Here is a characterization of $\lambda$, but of course your question is somewhat ambiguous as to what counts as an answer. For $n<\omega$, let $\alpha_n$ be the least ordinal $\alpha$ such that $\kapp …

Is "every infinite set of strictly subnumerous sets is supernumerous to its union" equivalen...

Yes, this is like Tarski's result that if $\mathfrak{c}^2=\mathfrak{c}$ for every infinite cardinal $\mathfrak{c}$, then AC holds. In fact, it suffices to suppose that $\mathfrak{c}\mathfrak{d}=\mathf …

Can this semi-constructible structure satisfy existence of a measurable cardinal?

No. Under the hypotheses, there are limit ordinals $\eta$ such that $\mathcal{P}(\eta)\cap L\subseteq\mathfrak{L}_{\eta+1}$, and therefore, for example, $L_{\eta+2}\cap\mathfrak{L}_{\eta+1}\neq L_{\et …

What is the consistency strength of "Singular worldly that is inaccessible in an inner model"?

To summarize the comments, the hypothesis is equiconsistent with (ZFC +) $0^\sharp$ exists + "there is a worldly cardinal". For as mentioned in the original post, under the hypothesis, $0^\sharp$ exi …

Image-catching families in $\omega$

Original partial answer: Here is some information: An easy diagonalization shows that every image-catching family is uncountable. And more generally, MA implies that every image-catching family has ca …

Which are the hereditarily computably enumerable sets?

Re question 3: Not every arithmetic real is h.c.e.. In fact, every h.c.e. real is $\Sigma_2^\mathbb{N}$. For fix a program $e$ such that $x_e\subseteq\omega$. Let $n\in\omega$. Then $n\in x_e$ iff the …

Are there outer models $V \subset W$ of $L$ such that $V$ is "far" from $L$ but $W$ is "not ...

One example: do some class forcing over $L$ to produce a proper class $V\models$ ZFC + "there is no set-forcing which forces that $V[G]=L[x]$ for a set $x$". Now do Jensen coding forcing over $V$ to p …

Undefinable inner model

Here is an example from a transitive set model of ZFC + "there is a proper class of measurable cardinals". If there is one, then there is a countable one $N$, so fix such an $N$. Fix a sequence $\left …

Question regarding $W$ as not hyperarithmetic

Here is a proof that $\omega_1^{\mathrm{ck}}$ is admissible; if someone knows where this fact is proved in the literature, please comment. First note that there is no $\alpha<\omega_1^{\mathrm{ck}}$ w …

Projective well-ordered sets, higher up

The theory $T_0$ = ZFC + "there is an inaccessible $\kappa$ such that every wellorder of a subset of $V_{\kappa+1}$ which is definable over $V_{\kappa+1}$ from parameters has length $<\kappa^+$" is eq …

Precipitous ideal and inner model

No. Suppose otherwise. Let $G$ be the Levy collapse generic, and $D$ be the generic for forcing with the nonstationary ideal after that. Since $\mathrm{Ult}(L[U,G],D)$ is wellfounded, letting $i_D:L[U …

A Löwenheim–Skolem–Tarski-like property

Here is an upper bound: Suppose $\kappa$ is $2$-fold supercompact. Then the property holds at $\kappa$. (Recall that $2$-fold supcompactness means that for each ordinal $\lambda$, there is $j:V\to M$ …

Hyperarithmetically least elements in $\Pi^1_1$ sets

I suppose by $a\leq_Hb$, you mean that $a$ is $\Delta^1_1(\{b\})$. And I suppose in the question, $A=X$. Under this interpretation, the answer is no; in fact, there is a $\Delta^1_1$ set $X$ for which …

Exponentiation of Dedekind cardinals

ZF doesn't prove that the first implication reverses; i.e. it doesn't prove that $2^{\mathfrak{n}}=2^{\mathfrak{n}+1}\Longrightarrow \mathfrak{n}\geq\aleph_0$. For suppose $X$ is a set which is the di …

Inner model for KP and a Well-Ordering of the Reals

Re the first question with KP, yes, $L_{\omega_1^{\mathrm{ck}}}$. (Use the order of constructibility and Ville's Lemma.) The second question is a bit vague. But for each ordinal $\alpha<\omega_1^{\ma …
