We investigate the Friedman--Goldfarb--Harrington theorem from two perspectives. Firstly, in the frameworks of classical and modal propositional logics, we study the forms of sentences whose existence is guaranteed by the FGH theorem.…
In this paper, we study the provability logic of intuitionistic theories of arithmetic that prove their own completeness. We prove a completeness theorem for theories equipped with two provability predicates $\Box$ and $\triangle$ that…
By Solovay's celebrated completeness result on formal provability we know that the provability logic $\mathrm GL$ describes exactly all provable structural properties for any sound and strong enough arithmetical theory with a decidable…
For each $n\in\mathbb{N}$, let $[n]\phi$ mean "the sentence $\phi$ is true in all $\Sigma_{n+1}$-correct transitive sets." Assuming G\"odel's axiom $V = L$, we prove the following graded variant of Solovay's completeness theorem: the set of…
We establish completeness for intuitionistic first-order logic, iFOL, showing that a formula is provable if and only if its embedding into minimal logic, mFOL, is uniformly valid under the Brouwer Heyting Kolmogorov (BHK) semantics, the…
Turing progressions have been often used to measure the proof-theoretic strength of mathematical theories. Turing progressions based on $n$-provability give rise to a $\Pi_{n+1}$ proof-theoretic ordinal. As such, to each theory $U$ we can…
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,…
In this paper we introduce a modal theory $H_{\sigma}$, which is sound and complete for arithmetical $\Sigma$_1 substitutions in ${\bf HA}$, in other words, we will show that $H_{\sigma}$ is the $\Sigma$_1-provability logic of ${\bf HA}$.…
We prove that, for every theory $T$ which is given by an ${\mathcal L}_{\omega_1,\omega}$ sentence, $T$ has less than $2^{\aleph_0}$ many countable models if and only if we have that, for every $X\in 2^\omega$ on a cone of Turing degrees,…
Turing progressions arise by iteratedly adding consistency statements to a base theory. Different notions of consistency give rise to different Turing progressions. In this paper we present a logic that generates exactly all relations that…
A formula $\phi$ is called \emph{$n$-provable} in a formal arithmetical theory $S$ if $\phi$ is provable in $S$ together with all true arithmetical $\Pi_{n}$-sentences taken as additional axioms. While in general the set of all $n$-provable…
It is proved that if $T$ is a $\Sigma_{n+1}$ Definable theory which is $\Sigma_n$-sound and extends $PA$, then $T$ can not prove the sentence $\Sigma_n-sound(T)$ that expresses the $\Sigma_n$-soundness of $T$. Optimality of this result is…
Let $Z_2$, $Z_3$, and $Z_4$ denote $2^{\rm nd}$, $3^{\rm rd}$, and $4^{\rm th}$ order arithmetic, respectively. We let Harrington's Principle, {\sf HP}, denote the statement that there is a real $x$ such that every $x$--admissible ordinal…
We introduce computable actions of computable groups and prove the following versions of effective Birkhoff's ergodic theorem. Let $\Gamma$ be a computable amenable group, then there always exists a canonically computable tempered two-sided…
Many representation schemes combining first-order logic and probability have been proposed in recent years. Progress in unifying logical and probabilistic inference has been slower. Existing methods are mainly variants of lifted variable…
If we assume the Thesis that any classical Turing machine T, which halts on every n-ary sequence of natural numbers as input, determines a PA-provable formula, whose standard interpretation is an n-ary arithmetical relation f(x1, >..., xn)…
The provability logic of a theory T is the set of modal formulas, which under any arithmetical realization are provable in T . We slightly modify this notion by requiring the arithmetical realizations to come from a specified set $\Gamma$.…
This paper provides a new and more direct proof of the assertion that a Turing computable function of the natural numbers is primitive recursive if and only if the time complexity of the corresponding Turing machine is bounded by a…
Given a sound first-order p-time theory $T$ capable of formalizing syntax of first-order logic we define a p-time function $g_T$ that stretches all inputs by one bit and we use its properties to show that $T$ must be incomplete. We leave it…
Let $\mathcal{PL}({\sf T},{\sf T}')$ and $\mathcal{PL}_{\Sigma_1}({\sf T},{\sf T}')$ respectively indicates the provability logic and $\Sigma_1$-provability logic of ${\sf T}$ relative in ${\sf T}'$. In this paper we characterize the…
