Does anyone know whether the following hierarchy of fragments of $\mathrm{I} \Sigma_1$ (or rather $\mathrm{I} \Pi_1$) collapses or not? Let $\Sigma^b_n$ denote formulas in the language of arithmetic ...

Language: first-order logic Primitives: $=, S, \in $ (the first denotes identity, the second denotes “is a successor of”, and the third denotes membership relation). Axioms: those of identity ...

Recently I'm thinking about question below, but I can not prove or disprove it. Is it true that for every model $M\models I\Delta_0$ there exists a model $M'\models PA$ such that $M'$ is end ...

There are infinitely many extension to Robinson's $Q$ arithmetic many of which are defined by adding an axiom schema of induction for particular set of formulas. I am confused about the theory $\text{...

Let $\phi_1$ and $\phi_2$ be the following statements: $\phi_1:$ There is a function $f:\{0,1\}^*\to\{0,1\}$ computable in $E$ that has circuit complexity $2^{\Omega(n)}$. $\phi_2:$ There is a ...

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\...
