Can $L$ be defined without parameters?
If we omit parameters in the definition of $L$ would the result still be $L$?
That is, we define a successor stage $L_{\alpha+1}$ in the constructible universe $L$, without including parameters; as: …

Does synonymy seep down to the fragments of theories?
IF we have a synonymous interpretation between two theories $T$ and $H$ that uses translation $\tau$ from the language of $T$ to the language of $H$. Then I'd expect that for a sentence $\mu$ in the …

Is every set being cardinal definable consistent with ZF + negation of Choice?
Recall the definition of cardinal definable, where every set being cardinal definable is proved consistent relative to ZF + V=HOD. To re-iterate it:
$Define: X \text { is cardinal definable} \iff \\\ …

Had this attempt to salvage naïve comprehension been studied before?
Is the following a possible way to overcome inconsistency with naive comprehension:
We add an $\in_n$ symbol for each natural $n$ to the signature of this theory, which is a first order theory with eq …

Is choice over definable sets equivalent to AC over axioms of ZF-Reg.?
If we add the following axiom schema to ZF-Reg., would the resulting theory prove $\sf AC$?
Definable sets Choice: if $\phi$ is a formula in which only the symbol $``y"$ occurs free, then:
$$\forall X …

What's the exact consistency strength of this axiom system for classes and sets?
Notation: Let $\phi$ be any formula in $\mathsf{FOL}({=},{\in}, W)$; let $\varphi$ be any formula in $\mathsf{FOL}({=},{\in})$ having $x$ free, and whose parameters are among $x_1,\dotsc,x_n$.
Note: “ …

Does every consistent extension of ZF have a model in the minimal transitive model of ZFC?
Suppose there exists a transitive model of $\sf ZFC$. Is it the case that every consistent theory that extends $\sf ZF$ must have a model that is an element of the minimal transitive model of $\sf ZFC …

Can we effectively axiomatize a theory that proves the negation of its own Gödel's sentence?
For any consistent and effective theory $T$ fulfilling Gödel's criteria, let $G_T$ be the Gödel sentence of $T$, that is: $$ G_T \iff \neg \exists x: \operatorname{Proof}_T(x,\ulcorner G_T \urcorner)$ …

Is there a form of choice that can elude Kunen's inconsistency theorem?
When it is said that Kunen inconsistency theorem proves that given $\sf ZFC$ no elementary embedding can exist from the universe to itself. Most references quote full choice in stating that result, an …

For each infinite set $X$: if for all $y \in X$ we have $|y| < |X|$, then $| \bigcup X|\leq |X| $?
