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 $omega_{1}$.
In the lecture notes it is shown that an ordinal $\psi_{\Omega}(\varepsilon_{\mathbb{S}^{+}+1})$ is an upper bound for the proof-theoretic ordinal of a set theory ${\sf KP}\omega+(M\prec_{\Sigma_{1}}V)$. In this note we show that ${\sf…
Fast-growing hierarchies are sequences of functions obtained through various processes similar to the ones that yield multiplication from addition, exponentiation from multiplication, etc. We observe that fast-growing hierarchies can be…
In this paper we give an overview of an essential part of a Pi^0_1 ordinal analysis of Peano Arithmetic (PA) as presented by Beklemishev. This analysis is mainly performed within the polymodal provability logic GLP. We reflect on ways of…
Schmerl and Beklemishev's work on iterated reflection achieves two aims: It introduces the important notion of $\Pi^0_1$-ordinal, characterizing the $\Pi^0_1$-theorems of a theory in terms of transfinite iterations of consistency; and it…
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 investigate the cyclic proof theory of extensions of Peano Arithmetic by (finitely iterated) inductive definitions. Such theories are essential to proof theoretic analyses of certain `impredicative' theories; moreover, our cyclic systems…
We study the question of when a given countable ordinal $\alpha$ is $\Sigma^1_n$- or $\Pi^1_n$-reflecting in models which are neither $\mathsf{PD}$ models nor the constructible universe, focusing on generic extensions of $L$. We prove,…
We give an alternative presentation of the ordinal notation at the strength of $\Pi^1_1-CA_0$ which allows the "uncountable" notation $\Omega$ to be interpreted "polymorphically" - that is, we allow the notation to be interpreted as…
We show that it is provable in PA that there is an arithmetically definable sequence $\{\phi_{n}:n \in \omega\}$ of $\Pi^{0}_{2}$-sentences, such that - PRA+$\{\phi_{n}:n \in \omega\}$ is $\Pi^{0}_{2}$-sound and $\Pi^{0}_{1}$-complete - the…
We study cyclic proof systems for $\mu\mathsf{PA}$, an extension of Peano arithmetic by positive inductive definitions that is arithmetically equivalent to the (impredicative) subsystem of second-order arithmetic $\Pi^1_2$-$\mathsf{CA}_0$…
In a constructive setting, no concrete formulation of ordinal numbers can simultaneously have all the properties one might be interested in; for example, being able to calculate limits of sequences is constructively incompatible with…
Proofs are traditionally syntactic, inductively generated objects. This paper reformulates first-order logic (predicate calculus) with proofs which are graph-theoretic rather than syntactic. It defines a combinatorial proof of a formula…
We consider fragments of uniform reflection for formulas in the analytic hierarchy over theories of second order arithmetic. The main result is that for any second order arithmetic theory $T_0$ extending ${\sf RCA}_0$ and axiomatizable by a…
In this note let us give two remarks on proof-theory of PA. First a derivability relation is introduced to bound witnesses for provable $\Sigma_{1}$-formulas in PA. Second Paris-Harrington's proof for their independence result is…
We use a second-order analogy $\mathsf{PRA}^2$ of $\mathsf{PRA}$ to investigate the proof-theoretic strength of theorems in countable algebra, analysis, and infinite combinatorics. We compare our results with similar results in the…
Godel's First Incompleteness Theorem is generalized to definable theories, which are not necessarily recursively enumerable, by using a couple of syntactic-semantic notions, one is the consistency of a theory with the set of all true…
This talk is a sneak preview of the project, 'proof theory for theories of ordinals'. Background, aims, survey and furture works on the project are given. Subsystems of second order arithmetic are embedded in recursively large ordinals and…
In arXiv:2208.12944 it is shown that an ordinal $\sup_{N<\omega}\psi_{\Omega_{1}}(\varepsilon_{\Omega_{\mathbb{S}+N}+1})$ is an upper bound for the proof-theoretic ordinal of a set theory ${\sf KP}\ell^{r}+(M\prec_{\Sigma_{1}}V)$. In this…
Several theorems about the equivalence of familiar theories of reverse mathematics with certain well-ordering principles have been proved by recursion-theoretic and combinatorial methods (Friedman, Marcone, Montalban et al.) and with…
