Logical properties of realizability (topoi or McCarty models) defined by alpha-recursion on admissible ordinals
Setup: Let $\alpha$ be an admissible ordinal (viꝫ., one such that $L_\alpha$ is a model of Kripke-Platek set theory), identified as usual with the set of ordinals $<\alpha$. Then there is a ...

Are all constructible from below sets parameter free definable?
Lets take the intersection of the theory of $L_{\omega_1^{CK}}$ and $\sf ZF + [V=L]$, this is equivalent to the theory of constructability from below + limit stages.
Can this theory prove the ...

Single parameter programs and halting supremums
Let's first define a function $H:\mathrm{Ord} \rightarrow \mathrm{Ord}$. Suppose we are given some ordinal $\alpha$ and we want to find $H(\alpha)$. We define $H(\alpha)$ as the supremum of halting ...

An alternative definition of computable ordinals
An ordinal $\alpha$ is said to be computable if there is a computable relation on a subset of integers that is well-ordered and its order type equals $\alpha$.
But let's consider well-founded trees on ...

Existence of a particular function that maps an arbitrary set of ordinals to a single ordinal
Does there exist a function $f$ that satisfies all of the following three properties?
The function converts an arbitrarily large (empty, finite, countably/uncountably infinite) set of ordinals to a ...

Is there a non-standard model of PA computable with infinitary computation?
By the Tennenbaum's theorem,
there are no non-standard countable models of
Peano Arithmetic that are computable using Turing machines. What about models of infinitary computation like infinite time ...

Ordinal notations in α-recursion theory
Is there a theory about using α-recursion to compute ordinals?
For example, consider α-recursive well orders on α, what is the supreme of their order type? Is it the next admissible ordinal after α? ...

Is there an analogue of the Lost Melody Theorem in ordinary recursion theory and if not, why not?
In their arXiv preprint, "Infinite Time Turing Machines" (arXiv:math/9808093v1 [math.LO] 21 Aug 1998) Hamkins and Lewis state the Lost Melody Theorem for ITTM's as follows:
Lost Melody ...

Can there be a computational characterization of HOD?
This is a somewhat open-ended question, so let me motivate it a little.
One of the first results in the study of Ordinal Turing Machines includes the following computational characterization of $L$ by ...

Weaker versions of Gandy ordinals
Gostanian's paper "The next admissible ordinal" (see https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/0003484379900251 ), is concerned with the supremum of the $\alpha$-recursive ordinals for various ...

Computable models of the ordinal numbers
It's known, for example in the answer to this question: Is there a computable model of ZFC? that ZFC has no computable model. My questions is: is there a model of ZFC for which the order relation on ...

Length of Gaps in Clockable Values
As I understand, there can't be any (total) OTM computable function (in traditional input/output sense) $f:Ord \rightarrow Ord$ such that $f(x)$ gives an upper-bound on the length of the $x$-th gap.

Connection between countable ordinals and Turing degrees
$\omega^{CK}_1$ is the supremum of all the recursive ordinals, where an ordinal $\alpha$ is recursive if there is a computable ordering of a subset of the naturals with order type $\alpha$.
For a ...

Trace-Recursive Functions and Natural/Unnatural Operations
I have been quite hesitant to post this question. Due to the highly general nature of the question there is a possibility of a trivial answer. At a first glance at least, one gets the feeling that ...

On the proof of a normal form theorem for ordinal (primitive) recursion
Consider the following statement (which follows easily from various results found in the literature):
(†) There exists a primitive recursive (“p.r.”) relation $T$ on the ordinals such that, if $(...

Order type of $\alpha$-computable well-orderings
One of the nice features of the first admissible ordinal after $\omega$, i.e. $\omega_1^{CK}$, is that it is the collection of ordinals whose order type is that of a computable well-ordering on $\...

A question regarding an analogue of the Kleene $T$-predicate for Koepke's ordinal computability
Does Koepke's notion of ordinal computability admit an analogue of the Kleene $T$-predicate? If so, is the existence of such a $T$-predicate independent of $ZFC$? Also, if one assumes the existence ...

Analogues of Primitive Recursive Functions
Let $\mathbf{A}$ be an admissible set (possibly with urelements). I am wondering if there is some good notion of "primitive recursive arithmetic" relative to $\mathbf{A}$. More precisely, I would like ...
