Does the fixed point lemma / diagonalization require capturing or not?

this trivially leads to inconsistency: We can show that if T ⊢ 𝝍 then T ⊢ ⊥, and likewise if T ⊢ ¬𝝍 then T ⊢ ⊥. In the case of $\neg\mathrm{Prov}(n)$, applying the diagonal lemma gives one (whe …

Is a paraconsistent and provably non-trivial foundation for math possible?

Zach Weber has been working on developing a paraconsistent set theory that can serve as a foundation for mathematics.

Are key theorems finitistically reducible?

There are various problems with finitistic reducibility as Simpson develops it; for a survey, see §5.3 of my Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy entry on reverse mathematics. I tend to agree that the …

Reference Request: Non-Standard Models of PA

Peter Smith has a pretty good handout on Tennenbaum's theorem that I found useful when learning that material. As others have mentioned, Richard Kaye's Models of Peano Arithmetic is the go-to referenc …

Attribution of an equivalence of the existence of omega-models of RCA0

There are many well-known equivalences in reverse mathematics between statements of the form "Every set is contained a countable coded $\omega$-model of $T$" and $S$, where $S, T$ are subsystems of se …

Equivalences between statements of (seemingly) different order

When we say "with set parameters" I take it that what we really mean is something of the form: the axioms of (e.g.) the $\Sigma^0_1$ induction scheme are the universal closures of all formulas of the …

New research on coding in reverse mathematics?

Coding is obviously a fundamental tool in reverse mathematics, and practitioners take care to both demonstrate the correctness of their coding mechanisms and point out their limitations. Harvey Friedm …

Book recommendation introduction to model theory

I quite like Wilfrid Hodges's A Shorter Model Theory (Cambridge University Press, 1997). It covers all the topics you mention, while also tackling a few more advanced ones in the final chapter. The bo …

How much choice is needed to show that formally real fields can be ordered?

Let me give an answer from a different perspective. Konrad Swanepoel's accepted answer shows what happens in the general case, for formally real fields of any cardinality. However, it is possible to c …

Ultrainfinitism, or a step beyond the transfinite

Perhaps you could take a look at William Reinhardt's paper 'Remarks on reflection principles, large cardinals, and elementary embeddings' (1974). Reinhardt suggests extending the set-theoretic univers …

Further research on relevant realizability etc

I thought this was an interesting question and so I asked some relevant logicians on Mastodon. Here's a quick summary of the answers, although the short version seems to be "No", with Shawn Standefer …
