Well-founded fixed points have been used in several areas of knowledge representation and reasoning and to give semantics to logic programs involving negation. They are an important ingredient of approximation fixed point theory. We study…
We develop an approach to choice principles and their contrapositive bar-induction principles as extensionality schemes connecting an ''intensional'' or ''effective'' view of respectively ill-and well-foundedness properties to an…
We investigate a version of Alberti's rank one theorem in Ahlfors regular metric spaces, as well as a connection with quasiconformal mappings. More precisely, we give a proof of the rank one theorem that partially follows along the usual…
The paper is a first of two and aims to show that (assuming large cardinals) set theory is a tractable (and we dare to say tame) first order theory when formalized in a first order signature with natural predicate symbols for the basic…
The dependently-typed lambda calculus LF is often used as a vehicle for formalizing rule-based descriptions of object systems. Proving properties of object systems encoded in this fashion requires reasoning about formulas over LF typing…
We define and investigate versions of Silver and Mathias forcing with respect to lower and upper density. We focus on properness, Axiom A, chain conditions, preservation of cardinals and adding Cohen reals. We find rough forcings that…
We develop a general theory for class-sized symmetric systems as a natural extension of symmetric systems with respect to class forcing. In particular, adapting the usual notions of pretameness and tameness for class forcing, we present…
Axioms are presented which encapsulate the properties satisfied by categories of games which form the basis of results on full abstraction for PCF and other programming languages, and on full completeness for various logics and type…
We show that the Proper Forcing Axiom implies the Singular Cardinal Hypothesis. The proof is by interpolation and uses the Mapping Reflection Principle.
We show that including degrees of a particular kind of provability in the search target for any theorem-prover in sufficiently powerful formal systems over finite-sized statements preserves well-definition and a sufficient consistency while…
We present a systematic study of the method of "norms on possibilities" of building forcing notions with keeping their properties under full control. This technique allows us to answer several open problems, but on our way to get the…
In a sigma-closed forcing extension, the bounded forcing axiom for Namba forcing fails. This answers a question of Justin Tatch Moore.
Forking is a central notion of model theory, generalizing linear independence in vector spaces and algebraic independence in fields. We develop the theory of forking in abstract, category-theoretic terms, for reasons both practical (we…
We investigate infinitary wellfounded systems for linear logic with fixed points, with transfinite branching rules indexed by some closure ordinal $\alpha$ for fixed points. Our main result is that provability in the system for some…
Let ${\mathcal A}\subset {\mathcal P}(X)$, $\emptyset, X\in {\mathcal A}$, ${\mathcal A}$ being closed under finite intersections. If $\psi={o},\omega,\gamma$, then $\Psi({\mathcal A})$ is the family of those $\psi$-covers ${\mathcal U}$…
In this paper, we show that a partitioned formula \phi is dependent if and only if \phi has uniform definability of types over finite partial order indiscernibles. This generalizes our result from a previous paper [1]. We show this by…
We answer a question of Woodin by showing that assuming an inaccessible cardinal $\kappa$ which is a limit of ${<}\kappa$-supercompact cardinals exists, there is a stationary set preserving forcing $\mathbb{P}$ so that $V^{\mathbb…
We resolve the strong Elementary Equivalence versus Isomorphism Problem for finitely generated fields. That is, we show that for every field in this class there is a first-order sentence which characterizes this field within the class up to…
We present a graded modal type theory, a dependent type theory with grades that can be used to enforce various properties of the code. The theory has $\Pi$-types, weak and strong $\Sigma$-types, natural numbers, an empty type, and a…
We introduce a family of local ranks DQ depending on a finite set Q of pairs of the form (\varphi(x,y),q(y)) where \varphi(x,y) is a formula and q(y) is a global type. We prove that in any NSOP1 theory these ranks satisfy some desirable…
