Does "$X \not\to (\omega)^\omega_2$ for every infinite $X$" imply ${\sf AC}$?

The answer is no, the statement that for every set $X$ we have $$X\not\to(\omega)^\omega_2$$ does not imply the axiom of choice. This was shown by Kleinberg and Seiferas in 1973, see MR0340025 (49 #4 …

Is it consistent to have a function that is sensitive to subset relation from the power set ...

No, this is not consistent. Todorčević has shown in ZF that, in fact, there is no function $F\!:\mathcal W(S)\to S$ with the property you require. Here, $\mathcal W(S)$ is the collection of subsets of …

Who introduced direct limits?

As suggested by Gerald, the notion was first introduced for groups. Given a directed system of groups, their direct limit was defined as a quotient of their direct product (which was referred to as th …

Smallest $\beta$ such that it is provable that $2^{\aleph_\beta} > 2^{\aleph_0}$

Perhaps the following may clarify the comments: for any ordinal $\delta$, there is a Boolean-valued extension of the universe of sets where $2^{\aleph_0}>\aleph_\delta$ holds. If you rather talk of mo …

Strong partition property + DC + existence of non-principal ultrafilter on $\omega$

The key reference for this is MR0799042 (87d:03141). Henle, J. M.; Mathias, A. R. D.; Woodin, W. Hugh. A barren extension. In Methods in mathematical logic (Caracas, 1983), C. A. Di Prisco, editor …

Is $Z_3+{\rm AD}$ equiconsistent with $\text{ZFC+AD}^{L(\mathbb{R})}$

The only reference I know for precisely these matters is the handbook chapter MR2768702. Koellner, Peter; Woodin, W. Hugh. Large cardinals from determinacy. In Handbook of set theory. Vols. 1, 2, …

Is ZFC+(negation of a large cardinal axiom) arithmetically sound?

Yes. This is obvious if there are no such cardinals. (I assume that the natural numbers of the universe of sets are the true natural numbers. Otherwise, the answer is no, and there is not much else to …

Conflating reals and sets of countable ordinals "nicely"

The technique of almost disjoint forcing was introduced in MR0289291 (44 #6482). Jensen, R. B.; Solovay, R. M. Some applications of almost disjoint sets. In Mathematical Logic and Foundations …

"Weakly" Woodin cardinals

(As I pointed out in a comment) yes, partial Woodinness is common in arguments in inner model theory. Accordingly, you obtain determinacy results addressing specific pointclasses (typically, well beyo …

Is there a natural inner model of AD$_\mathbb{R}$?

A Wadge initial segment (of $\mathcal P(\mathbb R)$) is a subset $\Gamma$ of $\mathcal P(\mathbb R)$ such that whenever $A\in\Gamma$ and $B\le_W A$, where $\le_W$ denotes Wadge reducibility, then $B\i …

Is the Martin's axiom number $\mathfrak m$ regular

Not necessarily. That $\mathfrak m$ is consistently singular is proved in MR0947850 (89m:03045) Kunen, Kenneth. Where $\mathsf{MA}$ first fails. J. Symbolic Logic 53(2), (1988), 429–433. Ther …

Where is the Erdős–Rado theorem stated in Erdős and Rado's Bull AMS paper?

This is Theorem 39 in the paper (see Theorem 4.(i) for a user-friendly preview). But the fact that $(2^\kappa)^+\to(\kappa^+)^2_\kappa$ is older (1946) and due to Erdős, see here: Paul Erdős. Some se …

Does Turing determinacy imply full determinacy?

This is open. In $L(\mathbb R)$ the answer is yes. Hugh has several proofs of this, and it remains one of the few unpublished results in the area. The latest version of the statement (that I know of) …

Is a model of arithmetic contained in a model of arithmetic an initial segment?

Let me address the first question. We can have models of $\mathsf{PA}$, $M\subsetneq N$ with $M$ cofinal in $N$. In fact, $M$ and $N$ do not even need to have the same cardinality. However, one can p …
