Are the natural powers of two conservatively embedded in $\mathbb{C}$?
This is a followup to this question.
Consider $\mathbb{C}$ as a structure - in the sense of first-order logic - with the graphs of addition and multiplication. Let $\mathcal{X}$ be the substructure wi …

Can $\mathbb{C}$ have a "doppelganger" in $L(\mathbb{R})$ with countable automorphism group?
Working in $\mathsf{ZFC}$ + large cardinals (a proper class of Woodins, to be precise), is there a field $F\in L(\mathbb{R})$ such that $V\models F\cong\mathbb{C}$ and $L(\mathbb{R})\models\vert\mathi …

Is there a decidable theory of arithmetic with a non-collapsing quantifier hierarchy?
This question is very close to this old MSE question of mine, which is still unanswered.
Is there an (ideally reasonably-natural!) expansion of the structure $(\mathbb{N};+)$ in a finite language whos …

Weakly compact cardinals in $L$: how long do branches take to appear?
Throughout, we work in $\mathsf{ZFC+V=L+}$ "There is a weakly compact cardinal," $\kappa$ is the first weakly compact cardinal and "tree" means "subtree of $2^{<\kappa}$ of height $\kappa$"
Despite t …

What oracles make finding isomorphism (of finite structures) easy?
Below, all structures are finite, in a finite language, with underlying set an initial segment of the natural numbers. This has been edited to fix errors pointed out by Emil Jerabek in his answer belo …

Can we computably escape infinitely many functions (allowing partiality)?
Let $(p_i)_{i\in\omega}$ be a uniformly computable sequence of partial functions (i.e. the partial function $q(i,x)=p_i(x)$ is computable) such that infinitely many $p_i$s are total. Must there be a …

Can the differential field of d.c.e. reals be nicely construed as a field of functions?
This question is basically a special case of this older question of mine, which is still unanswered.
Let $\mathcal{D}$ be the field of d.c.e. reals; these turn out to be exactly the reals $\alpha$ for …

Can the canonical Eudoxus-real representatives be defined easily?
(See e.g. here for background on the Eudoxus reals, which motivates this question.)
Let $\mathcal{Z}=(\mathbb{Z};+,<)$. Say that a Eudoxus function is an $f:\mathbb{Z}\rightarrow\mathbb{Z}$ such that …

Läuchli's "intermediate thing"
On page 230 of An abstract notion of realizability ..., Läuchli writes the following:
If we drop the restrictions put on $\Theta$, then we get classical logic in one case and an intermediate thing in …

$L(\mathbb{R})$-absoluteness from a proper class of Woodins: source?
For a paper I'm writing I need to use (as a blackbox) the following theorem: if there is a proper class of Woodin cardinals and $G$ is set-generic, then $L(\mathbb{R})$ and $L(\mathbb{R})^{V[G]}$ are …

Are there any non-conjugation "extendible automorphisms" in the category of finite groups?
Let $\mathbf{Grp}$ be the category of groups. Given a subcategory $\mathscr{G}$ of $\mathbf{Grp}$ and $G\in\mathit{Ob}(\mathscr{G})$, a $\mathscr{G}$-extendible map on $G$ will here mean an assignment …

Which pseudovarieties have (Eilenberg/Schutzenberger) minimal descriptions?
Suppose $\mathscr{V}$ is a pseudovariety in a countable language $\Sigma$. Say that a minimal description of $\mathscr{V}$ (in the sense of Eilenberg/Schutzenberger rather than Reiterman) is a pair $( …

Counting Eilenberg/Schutzenberger-type definitions of pseudovarieties
See Eilenberg/Schutzenberger, On pseudovarieties for background on pseudovarieties. I've phrased things in terms of pairs-of-sets to avoid some annoying language about multisets. Also, I'm aware that …

Comparing semiring of formulas and Lindenbaum algebra
This is motivationally related to an earlier question of mine.
Given a first-order theory $T$, let $\widehat{D}(T)$ be the semiring defined as follows:
Elements of $\widehat{D}(T)$ are equivalence c …
