Who needs Replacement anyway?
Isn't replacement needed or at least the most natural way to construct projective/injective resolutions? Say we want a free resolution of $M$. Consider the free module $F_1$ with $M$ as the set of gen …

Did Lebesgue like non-measurable set or not?
I was surprised by the following paragraph in Bressoud's A radical approach to Lebesgue's theory of integration, quoted by Caicedo's in his comment to this question:
Vitali's nonmeasurable set, appea …

Naive way to violate $\mathsf{SCH}$ at $\aleph_\omega$
I asked this question on MSE and got a partial answer. Shamefully I still haven't figured out myself a full answer, so I would like to ask it here. The usual way to get the failure of $\mathsf{SCH}$ a …

Undefinable inner model
What are some examples of a pair $M\subseteq N$ of transitive set models of $\mathsf{ZFC}$ with the same ordinals, such that $M$ is not a definable class (with parameters) in $N$? Is it possible that …

What can be the measure of a Vitali set?
Suppose the continuum $\mathfrak{c}$ is real-valued measurable, i.e., there exists a countably additive probabilistic measure on $\mathfrak{c}$ that measures all subsets. Then by the construction on p …

Strength of Borel determinacy
In this blog post by Gowers on Borel determinacy, Andres Caicedo says the following in a comment (slightly rephrased).
Let $\mathsf{ZFC^-}$ be $\mathsf{ZFC}$ without power set and $\mathsf{ZC^-}$ be …

How much of the axiom of choice do you need in mathematics?
Each of the following is, at the very least, convenient for usual mathematics, but probably to a large extent unnecessary.
Countable/dependent choice. With them analysis and measure theory can be dev …

When are two forcing posets "the same"?
Let $B$ and $C$ be complete Boolean algebras. To avoid triviality I may also want them to be atomless. For $b\in B$ nonzero, denote $B\upharpoonright b=\{p\in B:p\leq b\}$, which can be viewed as a co …

Is Borel cardinality the same as cardinality under determinacy?
Suppose $E,F$ are Borel equivalence relations on Polish spaces $X,Y$, respectively. Under strong enough determinacy axioms, is it true that $E$ Borel reduces to $F$ iff there is an injective map from …

Basic cardinal arithmetic without choice
Do we know everything about addition and multiplication of cardinalities in choiceless set theory?
For example, let $M$ be a model of $\textsf{ZF}+\textsf{AD}+V=L(\mathbb{R})$, consider the sets $\mat …
