On Elementary Theories of Ordinal Notation Systems based on Reflection Principles
Abstract
We consider the constructive ordinal notation system for the ordinal that were introduced by L.D. Beklemishev. There are fragments of this system that are ordinal notation systems for the smaller ordinals (towers of -exponentiations of the height ). This systems are based on Japaridze's provability logic . They are closely related with the technique of ordinal analysis of and fragments of based on iterated reflection principles. We consider this notation system and it's fragments as structures with the signatures selected in a natural way. We prove that the full notation system and it's fragments, for ordinals , have undecidable elementary theories. We also prove that the fragments of the full system, for ordinals , have decidable elementary theories. We obtain some results about decidability of elementary theory, for the ordinal notation systems with weaker signatures.
