Equivalents of disjunctive Markov's principle

Logic 2016-11-09 v1

Abstract

The purpose of this short note is to point out a rich source of natural equivalents of the weak semi-intuitionistic principle MP^\vee in reverse constructive mathematics: many simple theorems from Euclidean geometry when read classically (for example with << interpreted as \leqslant and \neq) are equivalent to disjunctive Markov's principle MP^\vee. We give an example of this phenomenon.
