Abstract

top
Slaman recently proved that Σₙ collection is provable from Δₙ induction plus exponentiation, partially answering a question of Paris. We give a new version of this proof for the case n = 1, which only requires the following very weak form of exponentiation: " x y exists for some y sufficiently large that x is smaller than some primitive recursive function of y".
