Infinite descending consistency chains

Informed by Fedor Pakhomov's excellent answer, and using "slow" iterated $Σ_1$-soundness, here is an infinite sequence of sound theories $T$ such that $T_i$ = PA + 1-Con($T_{i+1}$). Set $T_i$ = PA + …

Infinitary generalizations of HOD

If the number of parameters is unlimited (i.e. ordinals can be used as literals) (but see the addendum if that is not the case), then $\mathrm{HOD}_{κ,λ} = \mathrm{HOD}_{κ,ω} = \mathrm{HOD}(\mathrm{Or …

Is Collection really stronger than Replacement?

The theories are equiconsistent and have the same strength as second order arithmetic $\text{Z}_2$. Since we have an $L$-definable well-ordering of the constructible universe $L$, replacement implies …

Numerical choice and reverse mathematics

Both your choice principle, and its weakening to only give upper bounds, are equivalent to $\text{ATR}_0$ over $\text{RCA}_0$. I think your question provides a good illustration of hyperarithmetic th …

Cardinal Register Machines

Unbounded Computations Independent of the restrictions, the halting problem is $Σ_1(\mathrm{Card})$-complete, where $\mathrm{Card}$ is the cardinality function (and $Σ_1$ is $Σ^V_1$). Also, there ar …

Determinacy and polynomial time degrees

Yes, and with a proper indexing, this also holds for a very restricted type of reduction called the prefix reduction: $X≤Y ⇔ ∃a ∀s (X_s ⇔ Y_{a⌢s})$ ('$⌢$' is string concatenation), with the equivalen …

Strength of BTEE

BTEE is conservative over the stationary reflection principle (SRP), i.e. ZFC + (schema) {there is $n$-subtle cardinal}$_{n∈\mathbb{N}}$. Using $n$-ineffable in the schema is equivalent. Note that we …

Consistency of "the sharp of every set exists"

In one sense, closure under sharps is itself a standard point in the hierarchy of consistency strengths. Just like the exact consistency strength of "ZFC + measurable" is "ZFC + measurable", so is the …

Do we expect that sufficiently large computable ordinals settle every question of arithmetic?

The claim of well-foundedness depends not only on the ordinal $α$, but also on how $α$ is represented by a recursive well-ordering. Pathological representations Strong statements from small ordinals: …

Descriptive complexity of analytic continuation

For an analytic function given by its power series, existence of an analytic continuation to some open set intersecting the unit circle is $Σ^0_2$. To see this, for an analytic function, its power ser …

1970 question of Reinhardt - how large is this ordinal?

The consistency strength is above that of $n$-iterable cardinals for finite $n$. Thus, despite the seeming weakness of the statement, the $ω$-Erdős upper bound given by Reinhardt is fairly close to t …

Which are the hereditarily computably enumerable sets?

The complexity of h.c.e. sets is quite subtle as the structure of the target set affects our ability to offload complexity to the limiting process. The property of being an h.c.e. code is $Π^1_1$ com …

Large cardinals without replacement

Overall, the large cardinal axiom hierarchy is very similar between ZC (ZFC minus replacement; we are including regularity) and ZFC. A large cardinal axiom (unprovable in ZFC) satisfied by $κ$ typica …

Complexity of induction formulas in proof theoretic ordinals

By a padding argument, for reasonable notation systems, an elementary time computable predicate $P$ in $\mathrm{TI}(β,ECP)$ can be chosen to be polynomial time computable. For example, for limit $α<β …

Decidability of S2S with real numbers

Yes, it is decidable, with the following general result for an arbitrary (not necessarily decidable) $M$. Let us interpret an $n$-tuple of $M$-formulas $φ$ with $m$ free variables as a function $φ:M^ …
