How to ensure a clean conservative extension in general?

Suppose we have a logic $L$ and we have conservative extension $L'$. So, every theorem of $L'$ that can be expressed in $L$ is also a theorem of $L$. This does not guarantee that $L'$ is "clean". In …

logics restricted in arithmetic hierarchy

Hello, I would like to know if this already has been researched. There has been lot of research done, where logics are limited. They are often limited in the axioms or inference rules, which makes th …

How to prove Con(PA) in ZFC?

You can also prove the consistency of PA with second order logic. The key thing is that you need a higher order induction hypothesis. In first order logic + PA, the induction hypothesis are limited t …

Are Separation and Types the only way to avoid paradoxes?

When Russell discovered his paradox, two ways were invented to avoid Russell's paradox. For logic with sets, ZFC was developed which restricts the creation of the definition of sets. Only sets that a …

Can invariant of transitive reflexive closure in FOL+PA always been proven?

I am trying to understand FOL + PA, better. With FOL + PA I mean, first order logic, with addition and multiplication predicate and induction axiom scheme. The book I am reading explains how to cons …

Can the omega-rule rescue Hilbert's program?

As known the second incompleteness theorem derailed Hilbert's program. However, Hilbert himself tried to rescue it with the $\omega \text{-rule}$, according to the following paper: http://repository …

Starting Hilbert's Program on the other end

The idea of Hilbert's program was to start with a simple finitary logic and proof the consistency of more complex systems in this system. Of course, this turned out to be problematic. Even when absolu …

Defining functions in FOL + PA

I am looking into the practicalities of doing Math in FOL + PA with the FOL extended with equality and functions. For a predicate you can easily extend the language such that a predicate is defined as …

Can a universal induction rule be formulated?

$\newcommand{\Con}{\operatorname{Con}}$The intention of Hilbert's program was to start with a simple logic and then justify more complex logics from there. So, we get a sequence of logics: $$ L_1 → L_ …

What are key $\Sigma^0_2$ or $\Pi^0_3$ theorems?

I am researching a logical system that is limited to $\Pi^0_2$ sentences and I am busy to prove that FOL + PA is a conservative extension of that system. Meaning that with $\Sigma^0_n$ sentences (that …

Is there any literature about inner-replacement rule?
