Is there a formula with one free variable in NBG that defines a class that does not exist?
This question concerns Godel's Theorem on existence of classes in Set Theory of von Neumann–Bernays–Gödel.
This theorem implies that for any formula $\varphi(x)$ with one free variable $x$ whose qua …

The place and year of birth of Henry Maurice Sheffer
I do not know whether this question (in history of math) is proper for MathOverflow, but I know no other places where it can be asked with a hope to obtain an answer.
Reading the biography of Henry Ma …

Is $\mathfrak b_a$ a new cardinal characteristic of the continuum?
After thinking some time I realized that $\mathfrak b_a=\mathfrak b$, so this question has answer "No" and this "No" does not help to solve the original question.
To show that $\mathfrak b_a=\mathfra …

Is $\mathfrak b_a$ a new cardinal characteristic of the continuum?
By a partial function from $\omega$ to $\omega$ we understand a function $f:dom(f)\to\omega$ defined on an infinite subset of $\omega$.
A family $\mathfrak F$ of partial functions from $\omega$ to $ …

Do the heights of an acute triangle intersect at a single point (in neutral geometry)?
A well-known result of the Euclidean planimetry says that the heights of any triangle have a common point called the orthocentre of the triangle. This result is not true in neutral geometry (i.e., geo …

Do the heights of an acute triangle intersect at a single point (in neutral geometry)?
I have found a proof (worth a "real bottle of wine") of this fact in Theorem 43.15 on page 430 of the book "Geometry: Euclid and Beyond" of Robin Hartshorne. This theorem is derived from Proposition 4 …

A contradiction in the Set Theory of von Neumann–Bernays–Gödel?
Thinking on the theory NBG (of von Neumann–Bernays–Gödel) I arrived at the conclusion that it is contradictory using an argument resembling Russell's Paradox. I am sure that I made a mistake in my arg …

The existence of definable subsets of finite sets in NBG
This question is motivated by my preceding MO-question on (in)consistency of NBG theory of classes.
Let $\varphi(x,Y,C)$ be a formula of NBG with free parameters $x,Y,C$ and all quantifiers running ov …

Does the Segment-Circle Axiom imply the Circle-Circle Axiom in a non-Euclidean Tarski plane?
By a Tarski plane I understand a mathematical structure $(X,B,\equiv)$ consisting of set $X$, a betweenness relation $B\subseteq X^3$ and a congruence relation ${\equiv}\subseteq X^2\times X^2$ satisf …

Cofinal monotone maps from $\omega^\omega$ to $\kappa^\kappa$
My former doctoral student Lubomyr Zdomskyy has resolved this problem, noticing that adding $\omega_2$ Cohen reals to a model of GCH produces a model in which the cardinal $\omega_1$ admits a monotone …

Cofinal monotone maps from $\omega^\omega$ to $\kappa^\kappa$
Given a cardinal $\kappa$ consider the set $\kappa^\kappa$ of all functions from $\kappa$ to $\kappa$, endowed with the partial order $f\le g$ iff $f(\alpha)\le g(\alpha)$ for all $\alpha\in\kappa$.
