A formula $\phi$ is Rosser-provable if there is some proof of $\phi$ with natural number code $p$, and no natural number less than $p$ is the code for a proof of $\neg\phi$.
Jan 1, 2011 at 22:14 comment added Adam For another example, see C. Smorynski, Self-Reference and Modal Logic, chapter 4, where he uses $\Box\varphi$ and $\bigtriangledown\varphi$, with the former meaning "provable in PA" and the latter meaning "provable in some theory T$\supseteq$PA". Of course this is only interesting when T is not finitely axiomatizable over PA. I speculate that this might be useful in the study of sentences provable in PA$_1$ (PA plus the set of all $\Pi_1$ consequences of PA).
