In this paper, we use G\"{o}del's incompleteness theorem as a case study for investigating mathematical depth. We take for granted the widespread judgment by mathematical logicians that G\"{o}del's incompleteness theorem is deep, and focus…

This is a study of S. Kripke's notion of fulfilment. Motivated by Paris-Harrington statement, Kripke was looking for a proof of G\"odel's Incompleteness Theorem which was model-theoretic, natural (without self-reference), and easy.…

It is well-known that a Hilbert-style deduction system for first-order classical logic is sound and complete for a model theory built using all Boolean algebras as truth-value algebras if and only if it is sound and complete for a model…

G\"odel's second incompleteness theorem is proved for Herbrand consistency of some arithmetical theories with bounded induction, by using a technique of logarithmic shrinking the witnesses of bounded formulas, due to Z. Adamowicz [Herbrand…

The famous G\"odel incompleteness theorem says that for every sufficiently rich formal theory (containing formal arithmetic in some natural sense) there exist true unprovable statements. Such statements would be natural candidates for being…

Although the categorical arithmetic is not effectively axiomatizable, the belief that the incompleteness Theorems can be apply to it is fairly common. Furthermore, the so-called "essential" (or "inherent") semantic incompleteness of the…

We prove under $V=L$ that the inclusion modulo the non-stationary ideal is a $\Sigma_1^1$-complete quasi-order in the generalized Borel-reducibility hierarchy ($\kappa>\omega$). This improvement to known results in $L$ has many new…

We discuss an incompleteness result proven by Bezboruah and Shepherdson. This result tells us that the weak theory ${\sf PA}^-$ does not prove the consistency of any theory (under certain assumptions explained in the paper). Kreisel argued…

We offer a mathematical proof of consistency for Peano Arithmetic PA formalizable in PA. This result is compatible with Goedel's Second Incompleteness Theorem since our consistency proof does not rely on the representation of consistency as…

We give proofs of G\"odel's incompleteness theorems after A. Joyal. The proof uses internal category theory in an arithmetic universe, a predicative generalisation of topoi. Applications to L\"ob's Theorem are discussed.

We further develop the paraconsistent G\"{o}del modal logic. In this paper, we consider its version endowed with Kripke semantics on $[0,1]$-valued frames with two fuzzy relations $R^+$ and $R^-$ (degrees of trust in assertions and denials)…

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…

We show how G\"odel's first incompleteness theorem has an analog in quantum theory. G\"odel's theorem implies endless opportunities for appending axioms to arithmetic, implicitly showing a role for an agent, namely an agent that asserts an…

We describe a proof-theoretic bound on $Sigma_{2}$-definable countable ordinals in Kripke-Platek set theory with $Pi_{1}$-Collection and the existence of $omega_{1}$.

An ultimate universal theory -- a complete theory that accounts, via few and simple first principles, for all the phenomena already observed and that will ever be observed -- has been, and still is, the aspiration of most physicists and…

Polymodal provability logic GLP is incomplete w.r.t. Kripke frames. It is known to be complete w.r.t. topological semantics, where the diamond modalities correspond to topological derivative operations. However, the topologies needed for…

The primary purpose of this article is to show that a certain natural set of axioms yields a completeness result for continuous first-order logic. In particular, we show that in continuous first-order logic a set of formulae is (completely)…

G{\"o}del's second incompleteness theorem forbids to prove, in a given theory U, the consistency of many theories-in particular, of the theory U itself-as well as it forbids to prove the normalization property for these theories, since this…
