Using multiple links has the advantage that if one of them stops working, the other ones still might be usable. For example, this projecteuclid link is dead - but the other two (DOI, JSTOR) still work: mathoverflow.net/posts/242189/revisions

A: Transfer with minimal choice

Asaf KaragilaYes. The following is due to M. Spector (Ultrapowers without the axiom of choice. J. Symbolic Logic 53 (1988), no. 4, 1208–1219; DOI: 10.1017/S0022481200028024, JSTOR, projecteuclid.) The ultrapower embedding $j\colon M\to M^I/U$ is elementary if and only if for every family of non-empty set...

Q: Existence of maximal analytic P-ideal

Paolo LeonettiAn ideal $\mathcal{I}$ on the positive integers $\mathbf{N}$ is a P-ideal if for every sequence $(A_n)$ of sets in $\mathcal{I}$ there exists $A \in \mathcal{I}$ such that $A_n\setminus A$ is finite for all $n$. Moreover, an ideal $\mathcal{I}$ is said to be analytic if (equipping $\mathcal{P}(...

For the two other posts from the same search, I left comments: When will the real numbers be Borel? and Why would the category of sets be intuitionistic?.

A: When will the real numbers be Borel?

喻 良I think that Groszek and Slaman's result (see https://projecteuclid.org/euclid.bsl/1182353564) gives a satisfying answer to your question. Groszek and Slaman's result says that given any inner model $M$ of $ZFC$, $\mathbb{R}\subset M$ if and only if there is a perfect set $A\subset M$. A im...

Link to the paper A Basis Theorem for Perfect Sets seems to be dead. In case it is useful for somebody, I'll add at least in a comment links to doi: 10.2307/421023 and jstor. The paper is freely available also here: math.ucla.edu/~asl/bsl/04-toc.htmMartin Sleziak 2 mins ago

A: Why would the category of sets be intuitionistic?

Andrej BauerYou wrote: Suppose our intuition for the phrase "subset of $X$" comes from the idea of having an effective total function $X \rightarrow \{0,1\}$ that returns an answer in a finite amount of time. In this case, the subsets of $X$ ought to form a Boolean algebra. Unfortunately, this is not a...

The link to the paper Relating first-order set theories and elementary toposes seems to be dead - in case it is useful for somebody, I will add at least in a comment doi: 10.2178/bsl/1186666150 and JSTOR link. The paper is freely available here: math.ucla.edu/~asl/bsl/13-toc.htmMartin Sleziak 12 mins ago

@MartinSleziak: thanks, I updated the link in the answer as well. By the way, I can edit other people's answers, can't you? — Andrej Bauer 17 mins ago
@AndrejBauer Thanks for the edit. Yes, I can edit your post. (Although I suppose that was a rhetorical question.) From several discussions on meta, it is clear that MathOverflow community is more sensitive about bumping old posts than other sites. That was a reason why I left only a comment. (If needed, we can continue this in chat - so that we don't leave here many comments unrelated to the actual post. Either MO editors' loung or the room for broken links would be fine.) — Martin Sleziak 9 secs ago

I don't think we need to discuss anything further, although I would be disappointed at people complaining about others performing community service, such as updating dead links. — Andrej Bauer 11 mins ago

The remaining five posts with links to euclid.bsl/118 on Mathematics all contain a link to the same paper.

Q: Are there simple models of Euclid's postulates that violate Pasch's theorem or Pasch's axiom?

Thomas KlimpelWhile reading a paper (pdf) about the history of modern logic, I learned that some opinions (about deductive/axiomatic mathematics) typically attributed to David Hilbert can be traced back to Moritz Pasch. After googling for Moritz Pasch, I was surprised to learn that he had found important impli...

A: Is there a maximal universe of sets?

Noah SchweberEDITED in response to comments: I think the issue you're facing is that there is actually no universal agreement on what the "mathematical universe" looks like, or whether it even exists, or in what sense. This is one of the things a "foundational theory" like ZFC is for: it frees us from the c...

A: Why are the axiom of specification is an axiom schema? Why not just a single axiom?

Noah SchweberThis is just the choice of underlying logic. ZFC is a theory in first-order logic, and the strictures of that logical system rule out certain kinds of expressions. There are other logics, and their study comprises abstract model theory. Very roughly, there are two competing hopes for a logical s...

A: Is First Order Logic (FOL) the only fundamental logic?

Carl MummertFor the history of first-order logic I strongly recommend "The Road to Modern Logic-An Interpretation", José Ferreirós, Bull. Symbolic Logic v.7 n.4, 2001, 441-484. The abstract at least is freely available. Apart from first order logic and higher order logic there are several less well known l...

A: Logic in maths foundation

Noah SchweberLet me answer one particular interpretation of your question: To what extent is there an agreed-upon logical framework for mathematics - and to the extent to which there is one, what distinguishes it? (I write "what distinguishes it" deliberately: it is quite possible for something to be ad...

I have made edits to the above posts.
I have edited the posts above. (Of course, if you see some other possible imporovements, do not hesitate to edit them.)
When I check in SEDE, I do not see other posts on Mathematics or MathOverflow.
SEDE queries for edited posts (the above edits should be reflected after the next update): Mathematics, MathOverflow.

Glorfindel has a Broken Link Repairer script, which is mentioned here: meta.stackexchange.com/a/375122/334566PM 2Ring 5 hours ago
@PM2Ring Yes, Glorfindel mentioned this script recently also in connection with the broken projecteuclid links. Of course, this is a bit different from the bulk removal by the SE staff - edits by this script bump the posts, just as edits by a regular user. Still, it can be used for some other edits which can be automated - but which are beyond the possibilities of the SE's search-and-replace tool. — Martin Sleziak 3 hours ago
@Martin Ah, so Glorfindel is already in the loop. Excellent. :) — PM 2Ring 9 mins ago

I remembered that there were several occurrences of the paper A proof that Euler missed: evaluating ζ(2) the easy way with dead links - and I planned to fix them later.
Now I see that The Ampitwist already fixed those links: data.stackexchange.com/math/query/1070272/… They do a lot of editing of springelink links.
