Rigid structure which is generically homogeneous
Is it possible to have a structure $T$ in some language which is rigid in $V$, but in a cardinal-preserving extension $T$ is homogeneous (in a suitable sense of the word)?
If this is not possible, is …

Definability of defining classes
Suppose that $M$ is a transitive class, denote by $\mathrm{HOD}(M)$ the class of all those sets which are hereditarily definable from ordinals and parameters in $M$.
Some trivial examples include $\m …

Uncountable models of Kelley-Morse set theory with only a countable number of sets
The Kelley-Morse set theory can be thought as the "full-secondorderification of $\sf ZFC$", where we switch from sets to classes and allow the comprehension schema to include quantifiers on class vari …

Can there be only one (uncountable transitive model of ZFC)?
It is an immediate consequence of Cohen's forcing that if there is one countable transitive model of $\sf ZFC$, then there are many of them. Even if all of these models are of the same height, there a …

Is Collection really stronger than Replacement?
The two powerhouse schemata of set theory are Replacement and Collection:
Replacement. For every definable function $f$ and every set $x$, $f"x$ is a set.
Collection. For every definable relation $R$ …

Generating family for the Lebesgue $\sigma$-algebra
Let $X$ be a set, and $\cal F$ a family of subsets of $X$, let $\Sigma(\cal F)$ denote the smallest $\sigma$-algebra containing $\cal F$. We can also define $\Sigma(\cal F)$ internally using a transfi …

If ZFC has a transitive model, does it have one of arbitrary size?
It is known that the consistency strength of $\sf ZFC+\rm Con(\sf ZFC)$ is greater than that of $\sf ZFC$ itself, but still weaker than asserting that $\sf ZFC$ has a transitive model. Let us denote t …

What is $\omega_1^{CK}(\mathsf{Ord})$?
We know that if $\alpha<\omega_1^{CK}$ then there is some recursive $R$ such that $(\omega,R)$ has order type $\alpha$.
Let's consider now the ordinals, $\mathsf{Ord}$ with their natural order. This …

Is there an $L$ like inner model for $\sf Z$?
Godel proved the consistency of the axiom of choice with the axioms of $\sf ZF$ by showing that given any model of $\sf ZF$, there is a definable class which satisfies $\sf ZFC$.
The proof uses a lot …

Can we always add sets without collapsing cardinals or adding [very] bounded sets?
Given a model of $\sf ZFC$, and an infinite ordinal $\alpha$. Can we prove that there is always a cardinal $\kappa$, and a forcing $\Bbb P$, such that:
$\Bbb P$ does not add sets of rank $\leq\alpha …

Do we know the consistency strength of the Singular Cardinal Hypothesis failing on an uncoun...
Suppose that $\kappa$ is a strong limit cardinal. The singular cardinal hypothesis states $2^\kappa=\kappa^+$. We know that the failure of SCH requires large cardinals, and in fact is equiconsistent w …

Generic properties of dominating/etc. reals with non-Cohen working parts
The first and foremost forcing that adds a real is the Cohen forcing which approximates a new real number by giving finite approximations to its characteristics function.
But very quickly after that, …

Adding a real with infinite conditions
Consider the forcing $\Bbb P$ whose conditions are partial functions $p\colon\omega\to2$ with $\operatorname{dom}(p)$ a co-infinite subset of $\omega$, ordered by reverse inclusion.
Does $\Bbb P$ col …

Broken families
Assume $\sf GCH$.
Let $\kappa$ be a regular cardinal, we say that $\{A_\alpha\mid\alpha<\kappa^+\}\subseteq\mathcal P(\kappa)$ is an almost disjoint family, if whenever $\alpha\neq\beta$, $A_\alpha\c …

Preserving distributivity with finite support products
We work in $\sf ZFC+GCH$. Let $D$ be a class of uncountable regular cardinals, and for every $\alpha$ let $\Bbb Q_\alpha$ be either trivial if $\alpha\notin D$, or forcing with these two properties:
