Does $\mathrm{L}_{s_{n+1}}$ contain a surjection from $\omega$ to $\mathrm{L}_{s_n}$?

Let $s_n$ be the least $\Sigma_n-$admissible ordinal, so that $\mathrm{L}_{s_n}$ is a model of Kripke-Platek set theory with $\Sigma_n-$collection and $\Sigma_n-$separation. Does $\mathrm{L}_{s_{n+1}} …

Let $\mathrm{ZF^-}$ be $\mathrm{ZF}$ minus power set, and let $\beta_0$ be the ordinal for ramified analysis so that $\mathrm{L}_{\beta_0}$ is the least $\mathrm{L}$-model of $\mathrm{ZF}^-$. Clearly, …

Are some interesting mathematical statements minimal?

Gödel's set $\mathrm{L}$, of constructible sets, decides many interesting mathematical statements, as the Continuum hypothesis and the Axiom of Choice. Are some interesting mathematical questions, whi …

"Potency set" for power set?

Cross-posted at HSM. Has the term "potency set" been used in English language mathematics for power set, and, if so, what are good references? It is relevant that for historical reasons, "power set" i …

Impredicativity, definition, recursion and conservatism

Suppose we in an impredicative framework isolate the fixed point $$Gx\leftrightarrow A(G,x)$$ from a $Gx$ obtained by $\Pi^1_1$-comprehension as equivalent to $\forall K((A(K,x)\to Kx)\to Kx)$, where …

Is Jaskowski's paraconsistent system moderate if sparked?

Stanislaw Jaskowski published a non-adjunctive paraconsistent logic, which does not have the inference rule $\vdash A \ \& \ \vdash B\Rightarrow \ \vdash A\wedge B$. The paper first appeared in Poli …

First use of corner quotes for Gödel numbers

Who first used the corner quotes, $\ulcorner$ and $\urcorner$, for the notion of Gödel number? They can also be written as\Godelnum with Sam Buss's macro. They were used by Joseph R. Shoenfield, in Ma …

Ackermann set theory without extensionality?

Scott showed that ZF minus the axiom of regularity is interpreted by ZF minus the axioms of regularity and extensionality. Is Ackermann set theory interpreted by Akermann set theory without extensiona …

In On the Axiom of Extensionality, Part II, JSL, Vol. 24, No. 4, 1959, 287-300, R. O. Gandy shows that NBG set theory minus extensionality interprets NBG set theory. His systems make use of set abstra …

Countable $L_\alpha$ model for $S$ if $S$ has a countable well founded model?

Let $S$ be a proper fragment of $\mathit{ZFC}$, and let $S$ properly extend $\mathit{ZFC}^-$, i.e. $\mathit{ZFC}$ minus the power set axiom. Is there a countable ordinal $\alpha$ so that $L_\alpha$ is …

Suppose $ZFC^-$ is $ZFC$ minus the power set axiom, and that, for $\gamma$ a countable ordinal, $\mathcal{P}^\gamma$ is an axiom that allows less than $\gamma$ applications of the power set operation …

Are countable models constructible?

Suppose a first order set theory $S$ has a countable model. Does it follow that there is a countable ordinal $\alpha$ so that $L_\alpha$ in the constructible hierarchy is a model of $S$?
