comment Is $X$ pseudocompact
@Paul, as written conditions (1) and (2) are contradictory. (Assuming (1), take $H = H_0$ in (2).) Did you mean to have the roles of $\alpha$ and $\beta$ switched in (1)?

comment $f: \mathbb{R}^2 \to \mathbb{R}$ a continuous open map, show that for each $x \in \text{range}(f)$, $f^{-1}(x)$ is always uncountable.
@TMM: Okay, I'll remember that in the future.

Hagen, I don't see the dependence of $g_a$ on $a$. Is there a typo in your definition?

comment Are all large cardinal axioms expressible in terms of elementary embeddings?
Yes, my answer was based on a more literal interpretation of the OP's question; "is every large cardinal the critical point of an elementary embedding?"

@Martin; perhaps it's not so easy. I've added an explanation of the construction.
