Extending models of topological set theory

$\mathsf{GPK_\infty^+}$ is an alternative set theory in which we have comprehension for formulas which are positive in a certain sense; see the SEP article for more detail (or this MO post, which cont …

Is there a ${\bf 0'}$-computable linear order with "all intervals wild"?

Say that a linear order $L$ is a thicket iff $L$ is infinite, and for all elements $a,b,c_1,...,c_n\in L$ with $a<_Lb$ and $[a,b]_L$ infinite the following are equivalent: $\{a,b\}\subseteq \bigcup_{ …

A continuous notion of realizability

I have been interested in non-classical logics, off and on, for quite a while. This question is probably very basic, and I hope it is not too low-level for MO. My question stems from an attempt to def …

Is there a decidable theory of arithmetic with a non-collapsing quantifier hierarchy?

This question is very close to this old MSE question of mine, which is still unanswered. Is there an (ideally reasonably-natural!) expansion of the structure $(\mathbb{N};+)$ in a finite language whos …

Are the natural powers of two conservatively embedded in $\mathbb{C}$?

This is a followup to this question. Consider $\mathbb{C}$ as a structure - in the sense of first-order logic - with the graphs of addition and multiplication. Let $\mathcal{X}$ be the substructure wi …

Can $\mathbb{C}$ have a "doppelganger" in $L(\mathbb{R})$ with countable automorphism group?

Working in $\mathsf{ZFC}$ + large cardinals (a proper class of Woodins, to be precise), is there a field $F\in L(\mathbb{R})$ such that $V\models F\cong\mathbb{C}$ and $L(\mathbb{R})\models\vert\mathi …

Weakly compact cardinals in $L$: how long do branches take to appear?

Throughout, we work in $\mathsf{ZFC+V=L+}$ "There is a weakly compact cardinal," $\kappa$ is the first weakly compact cardinal and "tree" means "subtree of $2^{<\kappa}$ of height $\kappa$" Despite t …

Is Presburger arithmetic in stronger logics still complete?

Originally asked at MSE: Let $\Sigma=\{+,<,0,1\}$ be the usual language of Presburger arithmetic. Given a "reasonable" logic $\mathcal{L}$, let $\mathbb{Pres}(\mathcal{L})$ be the $\mathcal{L}$-theory …

What are some proofs of Godel's Theorem which are *essentially different* from the original ...

I am looking for examples of proofs of Godel's (First) Incompleteness Theorem which are essentially different from (Rosser's improvement of) Godel's original proof. This is partly inspired by question …

What oracles make finding isomorphism (of finite structures) easy?

Below, all structures are finite, in a finite language, with underlying set an initial segment of the natural numbers. This has been edited to fix errors pointed out by Emil Jerabek in his answer belo …

Can we computably escape infinitely many functions (allowing partiality)?

Let $(p_i)_{i\in\omega}$ be a uniformly computable sequence of partial functions (i.e. the partial function $q(i,x)=p_i(x)$ is computable) such that infinitely many $p_i$s are total. Must there be a …

Decidably clarifying ordinals

For a computable$^*$ ordinal $\alpha$ (viewed as an $\{<\}$-structure), say that a first-order sentence $\sigma$ in a relational language $\Sigma\supseteq \{<\}$ decidably clarifies $\alpha$ iff $\alp …

Whence compactness of automorphism quantifiers?

The following question arose while trying to read Shelah's papers Models with second-order properties I-V. For simplicity, I'm assuming a much stronger theory here than Shelah: throughout, we work in …

Can the differential field of d.c.e. reals be nicely construed as a field of functions?

This question is basically a special case of this older question of mine, which is still unanswered. Let $\mathcal{D}$ be the field of d.c.e. reals; these turn out to be exactly the reals $\alpha$ for …

"Compactness for computability" - does it ever happen?

Throughout, "computable structure" means "first-order structure in a computable language with domain $\omega$ whose atomic diagram is computable." Say that a computable structure $A$ is compact for co …
