Is the two variable fragment of arithmetic, i.e., theory of ($\mathbb{N}, + ,\times$), decidable?
Any references would be appreciated. Most places only address different vocabularies (e.g. a survey of arithmetical definability by Bes).

How can I prove that primitive recursion “preserves” representability in Peano Arithmetic?
I'm working on my thesis about Gödel's Incompleteness Theorems, and at some point I need to prove that the $\textsf{PA}$ system is able to represent all the recursive functions.
By recursive function ...

Does Robinson arithmetic interpret a Kripke model of the double negation translation of $\mathsf{I}\Delta_0 + \mathrm{Exp}$?
It is a well-known fact that while while Robinson arithmetic can interpret surprisingly strong theories, it cannot interpret $\mathsf{I}\Delta_0 + \mathrm{Exp}$, i.e., Peano arithmetic with induction ...

Which sets of natural numbers are "lambda-analytic"?
Begin with a bit of notation. Let $t = t_0, \ldots, t_d$ be a finite sequence of real numbers. Define
$$\lambda^t(x) = x^{t_0} \log(x)^{t_1} \log(\log(x))^{t_2} \cdots.$$
for all real numbers $x \in ...
