Interpreting reflexive theories in finitely many axioms

V. Shavrukov (1997)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

For finitely axiomatized sequential theories F and reflexive theories R, we give a characterization of the relation ’F interprets R’ in terms of provability of restricted consistency statements on cuts. This characterization is used in a proof that the set of 1 (as well as 1 ) sentences π such that GB interprets ZF+π is Σ 3 0 -complete.

Logiche modali con la proprietà del punto fisso

L. Sacchetti (1999)

Bollettino dell'Unione Matematica Italiana

We introduce various kinds of fixed-point properties for modal logics, and we classify the most prominent systems according to these. Our goal is to do a first step towards a complete characterization of provability logics of (possibly non standard) derivability predicates for Peano Arithmetic.

Lower and upper bounds for the provability of Herbrand consistency in weak arithmetics

Zofia Adamowicz, Konrad Zdanowski (2011)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

We prove that for i ≥ 1, the arithmetic I Δ + Ω i does not prove a variant of its own Herbrand consistency restricted to the terms of depth in ( 1 + ε ) l o g i + 2 , where ε is an arbitrarily small constant greater than zero. On the other hand, the provability holds for the set of terms of depths in l o g i + 3 .

On the weak pigeonhole principle

Jan Krajíček (2001)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

We investigate the proof complexity, in (extensions of) resolution and in bounded arithmetic, of the weak pigeonhole principle and of the Ramsey theorem. In particular, we link the proof complexities of these two principles. Further we give lower bounds to the width of resolution proofs and to the size of (extensions of) tree-like resolution proofs of the Ramsey theorem. We establish a connection between provability of WPHP in fragments of bounded arithmetic and cryptographic assumptions (the existence...

Strong initial segments of models of IΔ₀

Paola D'Aquino, Julia F. Knight (2007)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

McAloon showed that if 𝓐 is a nonstandard model of IΔ₀, then some initial segment of 𝓐 is a nonstandard model of PA. Sommer and D'Aquino characterized, in terms of the Wainer functions, the elements that can belong to such an initial segment. The characterization used work of Ketonen and Solovay, and Paris. Here we give conditions on a model 𝓐 of IΔ₀ guaranteeing that there is an n-elementary initial segment that is a nonstandard model of PA. We also characterize the elements that can be included....

The limit lemma in fragments of arithmetic

Vítězslav Švejdar (2003)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

The recursion theoretic limit lemma, saying that each function with a 𝛴 n + 2 graph is a limit of certain function with a 𝛥 n + 1 graph, is provable in B Σ n + 1 .
