Feb 4, 2017 at 12:20 comment added Joel David Hamkins @tomasz Adding those predicates to the language is stronger than merely restricting the scope of all quantifiers to the standard reals, since in your language you can also quantify over the non-standard reals, if you want. As for which hyper-reals, take one that you like. I would be interested to know whether the answer depends on this.
Feb 4, 2017 at 12:18 comment added Joel David Hamkins @RamirodelaVega I think you may be right!
Feb 4, 2017 at 11:16 comment added tomasz So the language we are working in is $\{0,1,+,\cdot,\leq,{\bf N}^*,{\bf R}^{\textrm{st}}\}$, where ${\bf N}^*$ is a predicate for natural numbers and ${\bf R}^{\textrm{st}}$ is a predicate for standard reals? Which definition of hyperreals do you have in mind?
Feb 4, 2017 at 6:44 comment added Ramiro de la Vega What if you add $\exists y(x=y)$ to your definition of $e$? Wouldn't the restricted-scope version work now?
