We study a well-known technique of using absoluteness for giving choice-free proofs to some statements which are known to be provable with the axiom of choice. The idea is to reduce the problem to an inner model where the axiom of choice…

In this paper, we consider a new direction of computation, which we call computation with large advice. We mainly consider constant space computation with large advice in Turing machines, and prove the following facts: (i) The class of…

We define and study translations between the maximal class of analytic display calculi for tense logics and labeled sequent calculi, thus solving an open problem about the translatability of proofs between the two formalisms. In particular,…

We conclude from Goedel's Theorem VII of his seminal 1931 paper that every recursive function f(x_{1}, x_{2}) is representable in the first-order Peano Arithmetic PA by a formula [F(x_{1}, x_{2}, x_{3})] which is algorithmically verifiable,…

We prove the first hardness results against efficient proof search by quantum algorithms. We show that under Learning with Errors (LWE), the standard lattice-based cryptographic assumption, no quantum algorithm can weakly automate…

We prove various extensions of the Tennenbaum phenomenon to the case of computable quotient presentations of models of arithmetic and set theory. Specifically, no nonstandard model of arithmetic has a computable quotient presentation by a…

In this paper, we obtain several new factorization results for certain classes of polynomials having integer coefficients. In doing so, we use the information about prime factorization of the value taken up by such polynomials and their…

In proof theory the notion of canonical proof is rather basic, and it is usually taken for granted that a canonical proof of a sentence must be unique up to certain minor syntactical details (such as, e.g., change of bound variables). When…

This book is mainly an exposition of the author's works and his joint works with his former students on explicit representations of finite-dimensional simple Lie algebras, related partial differential equations, linear orthogonal algebraic…

A syntactical proof is given that all functions definable in a certain affine linear typed lambda-calculus with iteration in all types are polynomial time computable. The proof provides explicit polynomial bounds that can easily be…

We study reductions that limit the extreme adaptivity of Turing reductions. In particular, we study reductions that make a rapid, structured progression through the set to which they are reducing: Each query is strictly longer (shorter)…

We will find a lower bound on the recognition complexity of the theories that are nontrivial relative to some equivalence relation (this relation may be equality), namely, each of these theories is consistent with the formula, whose sense…

For $S \subseteq \{0,1\}^n$ a Boolean function $f \colon S \to \{-1,1\}$ is a polynomial threshold function (PTF) of degree $d$ and weight $W$ if there is a polynomial $p$ with integer coefficients of degree $d$ and with sum of absolute…

Non-wellfounded proof theory results from allowing proofs of infinite height in proof theory. To guarantee that there is no vicious infinite reasoning, it is usual to add a constraint to the possible infinite paths appearing in a proof.…
