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 $j:V\to M$ …

If $L_\alpha \vDash ZFC$, then do we have $L_{\alpha+1} \vDash \alpha\text{ is inaccessible}$?
Yes. The elements of $L_{\alpha+1}$ are exactly those subsets of $L_\alpha$ which are definable from parameters over $L_\alpha$. But $L_\alpha\models\mathrm{ZFC}$, so from here we can just use the usu …

Detecting uncountable cardinals in $(\mathbb{R};+,\times,\mathbb{N})$
For the first question (distinct regular cardinals $>\aleph_1$): Force ZFC + MA + $2^{\aleph_0}=\aleph_3$ over $L$ in the usual way (see Jech, Theorem 16.13; note the forcing is ccc and it forces MA + …

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 …

Is $\mathsf{ZFC+V=L}$ consistently $\omega$-complete?
Claim: $T+$"$T$ is $\omega$-complete" is inconsistent. For suppose it's consistent and now work in a model $V$ of this theory. Let $T^+$ be the resulting completion of $T$ (i.e. the unique theory of …

Can $\mathcal{L}_{\omega_1,\omega}$ detect $\mathcal{L}_{\omega_1,\omega}$-equivalence?
(Working in ZFC.)
No (re $\mathcal{L}_{\omega_1,\omega}$). Suppose it is. Consider the signature $\Sigma$ with just one binary relation symbol $<$. Let $\Sigma',\eta$ witness SED-ness for $\Sigma$.

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 …

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 …

Logics detecting their own equivalence notions, take two: $\mathcal{L}_{\omega_2,\omega}$
(Working in ZFC.)
$\omega_2$ is not Fraissean. In fact, it is not Fraissean with respect to $\Sigma$, where $\Sigma$ is the signature with a single binary relation $<$.
To see this we use a variant of …

Can local $0^\#$ exists in L?

Do $X$ and $Y$ have the same cardinality if their families of finite subsets do?
If $\mathrm{ZF}$ is consistent, then it does not prove the statement.
Let $\left<x_n\right>_{n<\omega}$ be generic
for the finite support product of an $\omega$-sequence of Cohen forcings. Let $C=\{x_ …

Is this relation about elementary embedding transitive?
EDIT: If the codomain $N$ is allowed to be illfounded, then the answer is yes.
(Here if $\kappa=\mathrm{crit}(j)$ then this will mean that $\kappa\subseteq N$, but it might be that $N$ is illfounded a …

Can we have mutual elementary embeddability between distinct transitive sets?
There are examples of this where $M,N$ are also models of ZFC, in the following paper, which is joint with Monroe Eskew, Sy Friedman and Yair Hayut: https://arxiv.org/abs/2108.12355
Thus, you certainl …

Can there be an embedding j:V → L, from the set-theoretic universe V to the constructible un...
Theorem 1. If $V$ is a non-trivial set generic extension of $W\models\mathrm{ZFC}$ then there is no
$j:V\to W$ as described (i.e. with $x\in y\iff j(x)\in j(y)$ for all $x,y\in V$).

Minimum transitive models and V=L
Yes, I claim you can in fact get one whose minimum model is a set forcing extension of a segment of $L$. Let $L_\alpha$ be least modelling ZFC. Let $\mathbb{P}=\mathbb{P}^{L_\alpha}$ be Jensen's forci …
