Specifically, under the $\\diamondsuit$ hypothesis and suitable consistency assumptions, we show that there is a family of $2^{\\omega_1}$ many $\\omega_1$-like models of ZFC, all with the same ordinals, that are pairwise incomparable under embeddability; there can be a transitive $\\omega_1$-like model of ZFC that does not embed into its own constructible universe; and there can be an $\\omega_1$-like model of PA whose structure of hereditarily finite sets is not universal for the $\\omega_1$-like models of set theory.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2015-01-05T22:09:48.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "03Cxx" ], "keywords": [ "set theory", "incomparable", "suitable consistency assumptions", "hamkins embedding theorems", "hereditarily finite sets" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 15, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2015arXiv150101022F" } } }
