Mathematical strength of the statement "Heyting Arithmetic admits Markov's rule"

Consider the following theorem about Heyting arithmetic (HA) For every arithmetical formula $\phi$ whose only free variable is $n$, if $\text{HA} \vdash \forall n. \phi \lor \lnot \phi$ and $\text{HA}...

Is there a theory between HA and PA that doesn't have Markov's rule?

A theory $T$ admits Markov's rule when For every formula $\phi(n)$, if $$T \vdash \forall n \in \mathbb N. \phi(n) \lor \lnot \phi(n)$$ and $$T \vdash \lnot \lnot \exists n \in \mathbb N. \phi(n)$$ ...

What is the theory of statements with a provably *bounded* realizer (according to PA)?

$\let\T\mathrm\def\kr{\mathrel{\mathbf r}}$This is a follow up to Kleene realizability in Peano arithmetic. We can summarize the results from Emil Jeřábek's answer as follows: \begin{gather*} T_1 = \{ ...

Proof of Tennenbaum's Theorem by McCarty

Tennenbaum's Theorem in its usual form states that for any countable non-standard model $M$ of PA there is no way to code the elements of $M$ as natural numbers such that either the addition or ...

Kripke models of $HA$

Let $K$ be a kripke model and $k$ be one of its node, then $\mathcal{M}_k$ is classical structure of $k$. What is the strongest theory of arithmetic like $T$ such that for every kripke model $K\...

Does the Feferman-Schutte analysis give a precise characterization of Predicative Second-Order Arithmetic?

A definition is called impredicative if it involves quantification over a domain that contains the thing being defined. For instance, if you define hereditary property to be a property which applies ...

Are real numbers countable in constructive mathematics?

We are talking about ordinary reals in constructive mathematics. Let represent each real number by infinite converging series: $$r = [\;(a_0,b_0),(a_1,b_1),...,(a_i,b_i),...\;]$$ $$where\quad a_i \...
