https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subcompact%20cardinal | In mathematics, a subcompact cardinal is a certain kind of large cardinal number.
A cardinal number κ is subcompact if and only if for every A ⊂ H(κ+) there is a non-trivial elementary embedding j:(H(μ+), B) → (H(κ+), A) (where H(κ+) is the set of all sets of cardinality hereditarily less than κ+) with critical point ... |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vop%C4%9Bnka%27s%20principle | In mathematics, Vopěnka's principle is a large cardinal axiom.
The intuition behind the axiom is that the set-theoretical universe is so large that in every proper class, some members are similar to others, with this similarity formalized through elementary embeddings.
Vopěnka's principle was first introduced by Petr... |
