Ultrafilter theorem and translation invariant measures
The usual Vitali construction of a non-Lebesgue measurable set generalizes to a proof that there are no (non-trivial) translation invariant measures on $\mathcal P\mathbb R$.
On the other hand, there …

Erdős cardinals and ineffable cardinals
In Cantor's Attic it is stated that an $\omega$-Erdős cardinal is a stationary limit of ineffable cardinals, and Jech book is given as a reference, but I cannot find this result in that book. I have s …

On the definition of the $\alpha$-iterable cardinals
I am reading the paper Ramsey-like cardinals II by Victoria Gitman and Philip Welch (Journal of Symbolic Logic, vol. 76, no. 2. pp. 541-560, 2011) and maybe I am missing something.
According to the d …

Paradoxical Decompositions
A positive answer is proved in S. Wagon's book "The Banach-Tarski Paradox", Theorem 13.2. Specifically, the statement proved there is:
Con(ZF) $\leftrightarrow$ Con(ZF + DC + GM),
where GM is the ex …

Erdős cardinals and $0^\sharp$
It is well-known that if the Erdős cardinal $\kappa(\omega_1)$ exists, then $0^\sharp$ exists, but what if $\kappa(\lambda)$ exists for a limit ordinal $\omega_1^L\leq \lambda<\omega_1$? Does this sti …

Uncountable disjoint closed coverings of $[0,1]$
It is well known that the unit interval $[0,1]$ cannot be decomposed as a countable union of pairwise disjoint closed (nonempty) subsets. See for instance this math.stackexchange question. The proof u …

Does being special on a club imply being special?
Let $T$ be an Aronszajn-tree, $C\subset \omega_1$ a club set and $f:\bigcup\limits_{\alpha\in C}T_\alpha\longrightarrow \mathbb Q$ a strictly increasing function (where $T_\alpha$ is the $\alpha$-leve …

Does OCA imply $2^{\aleph_0}=\aleph_2$?
Is it known whether Todorcevic's Open Coloring Axiom implies $2^{\aleph_0}=\aleph_2$?
The only consistency proofs for OCA that I know are the following:
1) PFA implies OCA (and also $2^{\aleph_0}=\a …

Generic filters of inverse limits
Maybe this doubt is silly, but I do not understand the final step of the proof of Lemma 5.2 in Hamkins' paper Fragile measurability, Journal of Symbolic Logic 59 (1994) 262-282.
There, $\mathbb P_\la …

Is the forcing relation defined for mathematical formulas?
Meta-matematical formulas of the language of set-theory (which are not sets, but just sequences of signs) should not be confused with mathematical ones (i.e. formulas coded as sets, e.g. finite sequen …

Transfer of results from one model of set theory to another
Being an isomorphism between two (first order) structures is a $\Delta_0$-property, and hence, it is absolute for transitive models.
Thus, being isomorphic is a $\Sigma_1$-property, and it is upwards …

A question on rank-to-rank embeddings
Consider a non-trivial elementary embedding $j:V_\lambda\to V_\lambda$ and, for each $A\subset V_\lambda$, set $j(A)=\bigcup_{\delta<\lambda}j(A\cap V_\delta)$.

I am reading Uri Abraham's chapter on Proper Forcing in the Handbook of Set Theory and I have a quite trivial question on the definition of $\alpha$-proper forcing. Since there are many equivalent def …

A question about the first Cohen model
Consider the first Cohen model, i.e. let $M$ be a countable transitive model of ZFC + $V=L$, let $\mathbb P$ be the poset consisting of finite partial functions from $\omega\times\omega$ to $2$, let $ …
