Oct 27, 2013 at 23:39 comment added Ulrik Buchholtz I found Eléments de logique $\Pi^1_n$ after all. But I don't know how to pronounce ptyx/ptykes nor why Girard picked the name. :) BTW, don't bother tracing the second volume of Girard's book, Proof theory and logical complexity; it never appeared (I hear there are drafts out there, but I haven't seen any).
Oct 27, 2013 at 23:09 comment added Noah Schweber The abstract looks interesting; however, I have to ask: how is one supposed to pronounce "ptyx?" And why "ptyx" in the first place? jstor.org/stable/2907653
Oct 27, 2013 at 22:37 comment added Ulrik Buchholtz Indeed, I think this is in this article by Ressayre. See Sec. 3 there (the objects are called ordered Ehrenfeucht-Mostowski models with finitely many function symbols, but I think they're the same thing as (codes of) weakly finite dilators). There are related notions (ptykes) at higher types that provide $\Pi^1_n$-complete notions, according to a hard-to-find paper by Girard and Ressayre.
Oct 27, 2013 at 17:34 comment added Noah Schweber Thanks! I'd definitely be interested in whether weakly finite dilators are a $\Pi^1_2$-complete set of reals - that certainly seems plausible.
Oct 27, 2013 at 17:18 comment added Ulrik Buchholtz I added the definitions. Rereading your question, I see you were looking at sets of reals, while my answer addresses subsets of $\omega$. But perhaps weakly finite dilators are a $\Pi^1_2$-complete set of reals?

Oct 27, 2013 at 7:09 comment added Noah Schweber I'm finding Girard alternately vague and difficult to read; what is a "recursive dilator?" My understanding is that a dilator is a functor from ON to ON preserving limits and pullbacks. The obvious (to me) way of recursifying this results in recursive dilators being indexed by natural numbers, which isn't exactly what I was looking for.
