Consistency of the size of the least real-valued measurable cardinal, vis-a-vis the continuum
All of them are equiconsistent with the existence of a measurable cardinal. I find that a nice reference for this stuff, in addition to Solovay's article, is Jech's Set Theory: Third Millennium Editio …

Existence of a strange measure
This can be proved without introducing ultrafilters by name, by doing "finitary measure theory" and using Zorn's lemma.
An algebra $A$ on a set $X$ is just a $\sigma$-algebra without the $\sigma$, i …

(non) separability of the power set
The question has a trivial negative answer, as long as an atomlessly measurable cardinal exists (if one doesn't it is vacuously true, of course). Given an atomless probability measure $\mu$ on $(Y, \m …

Infinite distributive laws in atomless free sigma-algebra
This holds because $\mathfrak{A}$ is a concrete $\sigma$-algebra, being the Baire $\sigma$-algebra of $2^{\omega_1}$. In fact, the cardinality of $\omega_1$ plays no role whatsoever and $\omega_1$ cou …

Applications of set theory in physics
I don't know how important these papers are considered to be, but they are by a physicist and published in a (mathematical) physics journal:

Non-separable metric probability space
Iosif Pinelis has given an answer to question 1 and partial answers to 2 and 3. Since he advised me to turn my comments into an answer, here it is.
I will deal with the case where the axiom of choice …

Baire category theorem for uncountable unions
The hyperstonean case can be dealt with using a result from Fremlin's Measure Theory. For every hyperstonean space $X$, we can find a semi-finite measure $\mu$ defined on the sets with the Baire prope …

Nice algebraic statements independent from ZF + V=L (constructibility)
We can use a theorem of Eklof and Mekler to get a statement about abelian groups that is independent of $ZFC + V=L$ under the additional assumption that it is consistent that weakly compact cardinals …

Who needs Replacement anyway?
Here's an example of a published, nontrivial use of the the product of the sequence $\{ V, V^{*}, V^{**}, \ldots \}$ in a functional analysis paper, for the specific case of $V = \mathbb{R}^{\mathbb{N …
