We show that any language in nondeterministic time $\exp(\exp(\cdots \exp(n)))$, where the number of iterated exponentials is an arbitrary function $R(n)$, can be decided by a multiprover interactive proof system with a classical…

A theory T is tight if different deductively closed extensions of T (in the same language) cannot be bi-interpretable. Many well-studied foundational theories are tight, including PA [Visser2006], ZF, Z2, and KM [enayat2017]. In this…

For a graph $G$, we write $G\rightarrow \big(K_{r+1},\mathcal{T}(n,D)\big)$ if every blue-red colouring of the edges of $G$ contains either a blue copy of $K_{r+1}$, or a red copy of each tree with $n$ edges and maximum degree at most $D$.…

We undertake the study of size-change analysis in the context of Reverse Mathematics. In particular, we prove that the SCT criterion is equivalent to $\Sigma^0_2$-induction over RCA$_0$.

We further develop the theory of layered semigroups, as introduced by Farah, Hindman and McLeod, providing a general framework to prove Ramsey statements about such a semigroup $S$. By nonstandard and topological arguments, we show Ramsey…

In \cite{J}, Theorem 4.2, Jockusch proves that for any computable k-coloring of pairs of integers, there is an infinite $\Pi^0_2$ homogeneous set. The proof uses a countable collection of $\Pi^0_2$ sets as potential infinite homogeneous…

In this paper we give a factorization theorem for the ring of exponential polynomials in many variables over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0 with an exponentiation. This is a generalization of the factorization theorem due…

It is well known that any $N$ orthogonal pure states can always be perfectly distinguished under local operation and classical communications (LOCC) if $(N-1)$ copies of the state are available [Phys. Rev. Lett. 85, 4972 (2000)]. It is…

We answer a question posed by Hirschfeldt and Jockusch by showing that whenever $k > \ell$, Ramsey's theorem for singletons and $k$-colorings, $\mathsf{RT}^1_k$, is not strongly computably reducible to the stable Ramsey's theorem for…

Algebras of relations form an algebraic framework for the study of logical systems, extending the correspondence between Boolean algebras and propositional logic. Tarski's representable cylindric algebras $RCA_{\alpha}$, and Halmos'…

We analyze the Dual Ramsey Theorem for $k$ partitions and $\ell$ colors ($\mathsf{DRT}^k_\ell$) in the context of reverse math, effective analysis, and strong reductions. Over $\mathsf{RCA}_0$, the Dual Ramsey Theorem stated for Baire…

A set of integers $A$ is computably encodable if every infinite set of integers has an infinite subset computing $A$. By a result of Solovay, the computably encodable sets are exactly the hyperarithmetic ones. In this paper, we extend this…

Satisfiability problems play a central role in computer science and engineering as a general framework for studying the complexity of various problems. Schaefer proved in 1978 that truth satisfaction of propositional formulas given a…

We construct here an iterative evaluation of all PR map codes: progress of this iteration is measured by descending complexity within "Ordinal" O := N[\omega] of polynomials in one indeterminate, ordered lexicographically. Non-infinit…

We investigate sentences which are simultaneously partially conservative over several theories. First, we generalize Bennet's results on this topic to the case of more than two theories. In particular, for any finite family $\{T_i\}_{i \leq…

Let $\mathbf{M}$ be the basic set theory that consists of the axioms of extensionality, emptyset, pair, union, powerset, infinity, transitive containment, $\Delta_0$-separation and set foundation. This paper studies the relative strength of…

We prove that the statement "there is a $k$ such that for every $f$ there is a $k$-bounded diagonally non-recursive function relative to $f$" does not imply weak K\"onig's lemma over $\mathrm{RCA}_0 + \mathrm{B}\Sigma^0_2$. This answers a…

We identify computability-theoretic properties enabling us to separate various statements about partial orders in reverse mathematics. We obtain simpler proofs of existing separations, and deduce new compound ones. This work is part of a…

We prove a complexity dichotomy theorem for all non-negative weighted counting Constraint Satisfaction Problems (CSP). This caps a long series of important results on counting problems including unweighted and weighted graph homomorphisms…

We establish asymptotic formulas for sums of reciprocals of primes in arithmetic progressions, generalizing recent results on multiple Mertens evaluations by Tenenbaum, Qi, and Hu. Specifically, for any fixed constant $K>0$, we derive…
