Is there a theorem whose only known proof uses "$A$ or not $A$" for undecidable $A$
Another example is: Mycielski proved in 1964 under ZF that there is some $A \subseteq \omega_1^{\omega}$ such that the two-player game with payoff set in $A$ is not determined. The proof uses that eit …

If M is an inner model containing all the reals, might every game in M be determined in V?
Let $M$ be an inner model (of height $\mathsf{Ord}$) containing all the reals. I am wondering about the consistency strength of the statement "Every game in $M$ is determined in $V$."
MOTIVATION
For …

QUESTION
Let M be an inner model (of height Ord) containing all the reals. For each $X \in M$, define $S_X = \{x \in X^\omega : x_I \in M \land x_{II} \not \in M\}$. ($x_I$ is the set of plays in $x$ …

When is $\mathbb{L}$-rank definable in inner models of $\mathbb{V} = \mathbb{L}$?
Suppose $\mathbb{V} = \mathbb{L}$ and there is a countable transitive model $\mathbb{M}$ of $ZFC$.
Let $\rho$ be the $\mathbb{L}$-rank, i.e. for all $a \in \mathbb{V}$, $\rho(a) = $the least $\alpha …

limits of stable theories
Say that a complete theory $T$ is a limit of stable theories if for every $\phi \in T$ there is a stable completion of $\{\phi\}$. (Equivalently, $T$ is the ultraproduct of stable theories.)

How many elementary embeddings can there be?
It is a fact (following from the Ehrenfeucht–Mostowski theorem) that for every complete theory $T$ and for every $\lambda \geq |T|$, there is $M \models T$ with $|M| = \lambda$ and $M$ having $2^\lamb …

A "Completion" of $ZFC^-$
Let $T_0$ be the set theory axiomatized by $ZFC^-$ (that is $ZFC$ without powerset) + every set is countable + $\mathbb{V}=\mathbb{L}$.
Question 1: Suppose $\phi$ is a sentence of set theory. Must t …

A "Completion" of $ZFC^-$
Overnight the following occurred to me...
The answer to Question 2 is negative (with an asterisk), and so the same is true of Question 1. Namely, let $T$ be a set of $\Pi_2$ sentence with $ZFC^- \cup …

Theories with the infinitary Vopenka property
The answer to the question is yes, assuming $VP$ holds and thus, in the terminology from your earlier question, that $VP(\mathcal{L}_{\omega_1 \omega})$ holds. Namely let $T$ be any unstable theory wi …

Elementary extensions of direct product
Yes. Let $T$ be the theory of two disjoint groups, in the language $(\cdot_1, \cdot_2, U_1, U_2)$. Note that if $(G_1, G_2) \models T$ then the group operation on $G_1 \times G_2$ is definable without …

Perfectly transversable theories
The property you are asking for is a very strong condition on $T$. Let met try to rephrase the question more carefully:

Models with few types in infinitary logics
Here is a partial answer: consistently, the generalization can fail for all uncountable $\kappa$. Namely:
Suppose $\mathbb{V} = \mathbb{L}$ and let $\kappa$ be any uncountable cardinal. Let $\mathca …

What is the Cantor-Bendixson rank of the space of first order theories?
Let $L$ be the language $\{R\}$ containing a single binary relation symbol. Consider the space $S_0(L)$ of complete, first-order $L$-theories. This is a seperable, compact Hausdorff space; what is its …

Consistency of Weak Diamond with a Weak Version of Martin's Axiom
So I was looking through related questions on this site and the book "Proper and Improper Forcing" by Shelah kept popping up. So I checked it out and the appendix actually resolves the question. I rep …

Consistency of Weak Diamond with a Weak Version of Martin's Axiom
If $S \subset \omega_1$ is stationary, then the weak diamond principle $\Phi(S)$ states that for any $F: 2^{<\omega_1} \to 2$, there is a $g: \omega_1 \to 2$ such that for all $f: \omega_1 \to 2$, the …
