Could Reinhardt cardinals could exist even if all cardinals below it were well-orderable?

423 Views Asked by At

Are there axioms intermediate in strength between the axiom of dependent choice and the full axiom of choice?

Is it possible for ZFC to be the inner model of a theory where in the outer model, choice fails?

I ask because I'm wondering if Reinhardt cardinals could exist even if the reals and many large cardinals were well-orderable.

If this is possible, would it have any problematic consequences like the axiom of determinacy is said to?

If not, why not?

The existence of an infinite Dedekind-finite set is consistent with ZF and contradicts both choice (in fact, even countable choice!) and determinacy. AC versus AD isn't a dichotomy by any means, there are lots of other ways things could go. Another more technical example: the existence of an amorphous set contradicts the existence of infinite Dedekind-finite sets + the nonexistence of incomparable Dedekind-finite sets, and both of these principles contradict both AC and AD and are consistent with ZF (okay, in the second case assuming an inaccessible exists; it isn't known if that's necessary yet).

The question of axioms between DC and AC isn't directly related, but yes, there are intermediate axioms: e.g. DC + "AC holds for all sets of size $<\beth_{\omega^2+17}$." (Incidentally, ZF+AD does not prove DC; this is due to Solovay. However, ZF+AD+$V=L(\mathbb{R})$ does imply DC. It is open whether ZF+AD proves DC$(\omega^\omega)$.)


Re: your second paragraph, you're confusing models and theories a bit, but: every model $M$ of ZF has an inner model satisfying ZFC, namely $L^M$. This inner model also satisfies a bunch of other principles, including the generalized continuum hypothesis. This goes the other way too: models of ZFC can have (but don't always have) inner models in which choice fails. For example, the most well-known class of determinacy models is the class of models of the form $L(\mathbb{R})^M$ where $M$ is a model of ZFC + enough large cardinals (if I recall correctly, a proper class of Woodins).

Now you ask specifically about Reinhardts and well-orderings of "small" sets (like $\mathbb{R}$). Well, the usual way to do this would be to argue that forcing $\mathbb{R}$ to be well-orderable can be done with a forcing which is "small" with respect to the Reinhardt and then argue that small forcings preserve Reinhardt-ness. The first is clearly true, but the second I'm not sure about; forcing preservation results often need choice. I suspect that ZF + "There is a Reinhardt" is known to be equiconsistent with ZF + "There is a Reinhardt" + "$\mathbb{R}$ is well-orderable," but I'm not sure.
