The past decade has seen a significant interest in learning tractable probabilistic representations. Arithmetic circuits (ACs) were among the first proposed tractable representations, with some subsequent representations being instances of…
We study the reverse mathematics of pigeonhole principles for finite powers of the ordinal $\omega$. Four natural formulations are presented and their relative strengths are compared. In the analysis of the pigeonhole principle for…
Classical Ramsey theory has successfully extended to relational structures, yielding a wealth of results that have profoundly influenced other areas of mathematics. Interestingly, the same development has not occurred in the case of dual…
In this article, we prove that Ramsey's theorem for pairs and two colors is $\Pi^1_1$-conservative over~$\mathsf{RCA}_0 + \mathsf{B}\Sigma^0_2 + \mathsf{WF}(\epsilon_0)$ and over~$\mathsf{RCA}_0 + \mathsf{B}\Sigma^0_2 + \bigcup_n…
We develop a theory of real numbers as rational Cauchy sequences, in which any two of them, $(a_n)$ and $(b_n)$, are equal iff $\lim\,(a_n-b_n)=0$. We need such reals in the Countable Mathematical Analysis ([4]) which allows to use only…
In this paper, we propose a weak regularity principle which is similar to both weak K\"onig's lemma and Ramsey's theorem. We begin by studying the computational strength of this principle in the context of reverse mathematics. We then…
We show that over the weak base theory $\mathrm{RCA}_0^*$, cohesive Ramsey's theorem for pairs $\mathrm{CRT}^2_2$ implies exponential closure of the definable cut $\mathrm{I}^0_1$, which is the intersection of all $\Sigma^0_1$-definable…
We show that the well-partial orderedness of the finite downwards closed subsets of $\mathbb{N}^k$ ,ordered by inclusion, is equivalent to the well-foundedness of the ordinal $\omega^{\omega^\omega}$. This was conjectured to be the case by…
The study of symmetric structures is a new trend in Ramsey theory. Recently in [7], Di Nasso initiated a systematic study of symmetrization of classical Ramsey theoretical results, and proved a symmetric version of several Ramsey theoretic…
We study four families of consequences of Ramsey's Theorem from the viewpoint of reverse mathematics. The first, which we call the Achromatic Ramsey Theorem, is from a partition relation introduced by Erd\H{o}s, Hajnal and Rado: $\omega \to…
We study the first-order consequences of Ramsey's Theorem for $k$-colourings of $n$-tuples, for fixed $n, k \ge 2$, over the relatively weak second-order arithmetic theory $\mathrm{RCA}^*_0$. Using the Chong-Mourad coding lemma, we show…
We present a Rainbow Ramsey version of the well-known Ramsey-type theorem of Richard Rado. We use techniques from the Geometry of Numbers. We also disprove two conjectures proposed in the literature.
Recently, a number of formal systems for Nonstandard Analysis restricted to the language of finite types, i.e. nonstandard arithmetic, have been proposed. We single out one particular system by Dinis-Gaspar, which is categorised by the…
Ramsey's theorem for $n$-tuples and $k$-colors ($\mathsf{RT}^n_k$) asserts that every k-coloring of $[\mathbb{N}]^n$ admits an infinite monochromatic subset. We study the proof-theoretic strength of Ramsey's theorem for pairs and two…
Ramsey Theory deals with avoiding certain patterns. When constructing an instance that avoids one pattern, it is observed that other patterns emerge. For example, repetition emerges when avoiding arithmetic progression (Van der Waerden…
Using model theoretic techniques that proved that the class of $n$ neat reducts of $m$ dimensional cylindric algebras, $\Nr_n\CA_m$, is not elementary, we prove the same result for $\Ra\CA_k$, $k\geq 5$, and we show that $\Ra\CA_k\subset…
Reverse Mathematics (RM for short) is a program in the foundations of mathematics where the aim is to find the minimal axioms needed to prove a given theorem of ordinary mathematics. Generally, the minimal axioms are equivalent to the…
Reducibility methods, aiming to simplify systems by conjugating them to those with constant coefficients, are crucial for studying the existence of quasiperiodic solutions. In KAM theory for PDEs, these methods help address the…
Subatomic systems were recently introduced to identify the structural principles underpinning the normalization of proofs. "Subatomic" means that we can reformulate logical systems in accordance with two principles. Their atomic formulas…
The classical Ramsey theorem, states that every graph contains either a large clique or a large independent set. Here we investigate similar dichotomic phenomena in the context of finite metric spaces. Namely, we prove statements of the…
