Abstract

We show that the first order theory of the lattice of open sets in some natural topological spaces is mm-equivalent to second order arithmetic. We also show that for many natural computable metric spaces and computable domains the first order theory of the lattice of effectively open sets is undecidable. Moreover, for several important spaces (e.g., Rn\mathbb{R}^n, n1n\geq1, and the domain PωP\omega) this theory is mm-equivalent to first order arithmetic.
