Does $|(X\times\{0\}) \cup (X\times\{1\})| \leq |X|$ for $X$ infinite imply ${\sf AC}$?

Consider the statement For any infinite set $X$ there is an injection $\varphi$ from $(X\times\{0\}) \cup (X\times\{1\})$ into $X$. Does this imply the ${\sf AC}$?

Some very weak statements on choice

This is a follow-up question to Does $|(X\times\{0\}) \cup (X\times\{1\})| \leq |X|$ for $X$ infinite imply ${\sf AC}$? Consider the statements $(\text{S}1)$ For any infinite set $X$ there i …

Does "Every infinite set is splittable" imply $\mathsf{AC}$? [duplicate]

We say an infinite set $X$ is splittable if there are $X_1, X_2\subseteq X$ with $X_1\cap X_2 = \emptyset$, $X_1\cup X_2 = X$ and there are bijections $\varphi:X_1\to X_2$ and $\psi:X_1\to X$. Does t …

Fixed points of injective self-maps

Is it consistent in $\mathsf{ZF}$ that there is a set $X$ with more than $1$ point such that every injective map $f:X\to X$ has a fixed point?

Is it consistent that $\frak{d} < 2^{\aleph_0}$?

Let $\omega^\omega$ denote the set of all functions $f:\omega\to\omega$. We write $f <^* g$ if there is $N\in\omega$ such that $f(n) < g(n)$ for all $n>N$. A set $D\subseteq \omega^\omega$ is said to …

Maximality statements that cannot be proved using $\mathsf{ZL}$

A statement I like very much is: Any compact topology is contained in a maximal compact topology. A direct application of Zorn's Lemma doesn't work, as the following argument shows. Cons …

${\frak b}$ and ${\frak d}$ defined with $\leq$ instead of $\leq^*$

Let $\omega^\omega$ denote the collection of all functions $f:\omega\to\omega$. For $f,g\in\omega$ we define $f\leq g$ if $f(n)\leq g(n)$ for all $n\in\omega$; $f\leq^* g$ if there is $N\in\omega$ s …

Consistency of an intersection property

If $\kappa$ is an infinite cardinal then we denote by $[\kappa]^\kappa$ the collection of subsets of $\kappa$ that have cardinality $\kappa$. We say that $\kappa$ is intersectionally strange if there …

Function $f:\kappa\to\alpha$ with small fibers where $\alpha\in\kappa$

Is it consistent in $\mathsf{ZF}$ that there is an infinite cardinal $\kappa$, cardinals $\alpha, \beta\in\kappa$ and a function $f:\kappa\to \alpha$ such that for each $x\in\alpha$ there is an inject …

Does $|\kappa^{<\kappa}|=|\lambda^{<\lambda}|$ imply $\kappa=\lambda$?

For sets $A,B$ we write $A\approx B$ if there is a bijection between $S$ sand $B$. If $\kappa$ is a cardinal, let $\kappa^{<\kappa}$ denote the collection of subsets of $\kappa$ having cardinality $<\ …

Weak Power Hypothesis in ${\sf ZFC}$ [duplicate]

For sets $x, y$, let $x\approx y$ mean that there is a bijection $\varphi:x\to y$. The Weak Power Hypothesis (WPH) states that if $x,y$ are sets and ${\cal P}(x)\approx {\cal P}(y)$ then $x\approx y$ …

Decidability of Frankl's union-closed sets conjecture

Is it conceivable that Frankl's union closed sets conjecture is undecidable in $\mathsf{ZFC}$, or is this quite implausible, perhaps due to the "finitistic" nature of the statement, or for some other …
