The reverse mathematics of the Tietze extension theorem

Logic 2016-02-18 v1

Abstract

We prove that several versions of the Tietze extension theorem for functions with moduli of uniform continuity are equivalent to WKL_0 over RCA_0. This confirms a conjecture of Giusto and Simpson that was also phrased as a question in Montalb\'an's "Open questions in reverse mathematics."
