Abstract
In fragments of first order arithmetic, definable maps on finite domains could behave very differently from finite maps. Here combinatorial properties of -definable maps on finite domains are compared in the absence of . It is shown that (the -instance of Kaye's General Pigeonhole Principle) lies strictly between and (Weak Pigeonhole Principle for -maps), and also that (Finite Ramsey's Theorem for -maps) does not imply .
