G\"odel incompleteness through Arithmetic Universes after A. Joyal

Category Theory 2020-04-23 v1 Logic

Abstract

We give proofs of G\"odel's incompleteness theorems after A. Joyal. The proof uses internal category theory in an arithmetic universe, a predicative generalisation of topoi. Applications to L\"ob's Theorem are discussed.
