Can one say that there are equal numbers of sets satisfying formulas in Second Order Arithme...
Perhaps I've misunderstood, but isn't the answer easily yes? You can express that $\phi$ has exactly $n$ realizers by saying: there is a class $Y$ coding a list of $n$ classes (for example, $Y$ consis …

Does synonymy seep down to the fragments of theories?
It's a very nice question!
The answer is negative. For a counterexample, consider:
Let $T$ be the theory of a partial order $\leq$, that is, a reflexive, transitive, antisymmetric relation.
Let $H$ b …

Do the surreal numbers enjoy the transfer principle in ZFC?
The surreal field $\newcommand\No{№}\No$ is definable in ZFC, and it is easy to see that the surreal order is $\kappa$-saturated for every cardinal $\kappa$, precisely because we fill any specified ga …

How many colors do we need?
You are asking for the smallest cardinal $\lambda$ for which $2^{|\newcommand\R{\mathbb{R}}\R|}<\lambda^{|\R^3|}$.
The answer is $\lambda=(2^{|\R|})^+$.
First of all, this cardinal works, since $\lamb …

To which arithmetic\set theory this theory is bi-interpretable?
Your theory is true in the one-element universe $\{a\}$ in which $a<a$ is true and $a\in a$ is false. The order transitivity holds trivially in this case; the finiteness axiom holds vacuously; and the …

Are there models of ZF in which all uncountable sets are super/hyper/ultra-singular?
The ordinal $\omega_1$ is uncountable, even in ZF, but it can never be hyper-singular, since otherwise we would have $\omega_1=\cup x$ where $\omega_1>|x|$ and so $x$ is countable, and the elements $y …

What is the relationship between non-existence of those kinds of singular sets and AC?
Yes, it is equivalent to axiom of choice to say that there is no supersingular set.
It is easy to see with AC that there is no supersingular set.
Conversely, suppose that there is no supersingular set …

Can there exist a definable "ultrafilter" on the ordinals?
As Gabe pointed out in the comments, your requirements are too strong, since your properties will imply that the definability hierarchy collapses, as you require that every definable class of ordinals …

If existence of a pre-isomorphism implies existence of an isomorphism, would AC follow?
You say
Now using axiom of choice one can easily prove that for any distinct sets if there exists a pre-isomorphism between them then there exists an isomorphism between them.
But this is not true. …

Can this semi-constructible structure satisfy existence of a measurable cardinal?
Update. This answer is not correct, because it is a subtler matter to ensure that the levels are closed under relative constructibility while also maintaining $L_{\alpha+1}\cap\mathfrak{L}_\alpha=L_\a …

Does this ZFC+V=L like theory, have a limit on large cardinal properties?
The answer is no, you cannot have measurable cardinals consistently with your theory.
Your theory includes the axiom "V=L or V=L[c] for an $L$-generic Cohen real $c$". This statement is provable from …

Can there exists a model of ZFC with permutation that sends successor infinite stages to the...
The answer is no.
If $j$ maps each $V_{\omega+n+1}^M$ onto $V_{\omega+n}^M$ for $n\in\omega^M$, then $j[V_{\omega+\omega}^M]=V_{\omega+\omega}^M$ and so it cannot be that
$j[V_{\omega+\omega+1}^M]=V_{ …

Example of a forcing notion with finite-predecessor condition that does not add reals
The answer is yes, because every forcing notion is equivalent to a forcing notion with finite predecessors.

What is the least $\alpha$ such that $L_\alpha$ contains a non-measurable set
The question makes the most sense if we assume $V=L$, since otherwise it could be that every set of reals in $L$ is countable and hence measurable.
If $V=L$, the answer is $\omega_1+1$. Every set in $ …

Logical relationship between supercompact and rank-into-rank cardinals
The answer to Q1 is no. The least rank-to-rank cardinal is never supercompact. The reason is that a cardinal $\kappa$ being rank-to-rank is a $\Sigma_2$ property, being witnessed by the existence of a …
