Can Suslin (or Aronszajn) lines ever be orderings of abelian groups?
I am interested in realizing linear orders as orderings of abelian groups. In particular, can Suslin lines (and other classes of line) be realised in this way?
Let $\mathcal{C}$ be a class of (torsio …

Forcing as a replacement of induction and diagonal arguments
Cantor's back-and-forth theorem quoted in the OP has a model-theoretic generalization.
If two $\tau$--structures $A$ and $B$ in a vocabulary $\tau$ are partially isomorphic, then there is a forcing e …

Is $\clubsuit_{\omega_1}$ enough to get Suslin tree?
The answer is negative apparently. It is consistent relative to ZFC that all Aronszajn trees are
special and that the club principle holds:

Where is the Erdős–Rado theorem stated in Erdős and Rado's Bull AMS paper?
It is also stated as Theorem 4.(i), I think, and again on pages 470 and 472 where the reference is given to earlier results.
For a recent easy-to-read presentation of the proof, see Theorem 5.1.4 in …

Sierpinski's construction of a non-measurable set
I think the pages 249-250 are the most relevant source in ariane's pdf. Sierpinski outlines how to go from the cardinality hypothesis to the existence of a non-measurable set, as per Ashutosh's précis …

Use of indiscernibles in model theory
A further application of indiscernibles is to show that a consistent first-order theory with infinite models has models with many automorphisms. In particular, every first-order theory $T$ (in a count …

Nice algebraic statements independent from ZF + V=L (constructibility)
One can find examples of algebraic statements that are independent of ZFC + $V = L$ by considering "absolute" versions of standard algebraic propositions. This happens for example when one seeks large …

Is it consistent that $\frak{d} < 2^{\aleph_0}$?
Theorem 5.1 in Eric van Douwen's paper "The integers and topology" (Handbook of Set-theoretic Topology) is an old reference for a positive answer to your question and will provide a fuller explanation …

First-order axiomatization of free groups
More can be said than non-first-order axiomatizability. Since the free group $ \mathbb{Z}^{(\omega)}$ is an $L_{\infty, \omega}$-elementary substructure of the non-$\aleph_{2}$-free group $\mathbb{Z} …

Canonical functions in set theory and their applications
In belated partial response to (A), canonical functions are certainly already defined in the Jech-Shelah paper: A note on canonical functions, where reference is made to the work F. Galvin and A. Hajn …

Continuum Hypothesis
A very simple algebraic statement equivalent to CH is the assertion that the Baer-Specker group $\mathbb{Z}^{\omega}$ is almost free, i.e. all its subgroups of cardinality less than $\mid \mathbb{Z}^{ …

Diagonalizing against a non stationary set of functions
Sorry this is late and you may already have it all sorted out more attractively. I think an argument might go as follows. It rests on K. Devlin, Variations on $\diamondsuit$, JSL 44 (1979), modified f …

The continuum hypothesis for packing shapes without overlapping
One simple ZFC-observation about $\mathbb{R}^{2}$, along the lines of the finite cross example, is well-known (see for details e.g. P. Komjath, V. Totik, Problems and Theorems in Classical Set Theory) …
