We apply to the semantics of Arithmetic the idea of ``finite approximation'' used to provide computational interpretations of Herbrand's Theorem, and we interpret classical proofs as constructive proofs (with constructive rules for $\vee,…

Several properly countable unions of algebraic sets in $\mathbb{C}^n$ are definable in $\mathbb{C}(t)$ including the set CM of $j$-invariants of complex elliptic curves with complex multiplication. It has been suggested that one could prove…

We investigate partial functions and computability theory from within a constructive, univalent type theory. The focus is on placing computability into a larger mathematical context, rather than on a complete development of computability…

In this work, we aim at understanding incompleteness in an abstract way via metamathematical properties of formal theories. We systematically examine the relationships between the following twelve important metamathematical properties of…

The educability model is a computational model that has been recently proposed to describe the cognitive capability that makes humans unique among existing biological species on Earth in being able to create advanced civilizations.…

We introduce a set of eight universal Rules of Inference by which computer programs with known properties (axioms) are transformed into new programs with known properties (theorems). Axioms are presented to formalize a segment of Number…

Suppose $p \geq 1$ is a computable real. We extend previous work of Clanin, Stull, and McNicholl by classifying the computable $L^p$ spaces whose underlying measure spaces are atomic but not purely atomic. In addition, we determine the…

Propositional logics in general, considered as a set of sentences, can be undecidable even if they have "nice" representations, e.g., are given by a calculus. Even decidable propositional logics can be computationally complex (e.g., already…

We revisit evaluation of logical formulas that allow both uninterpreted relations, constrained to be finite, as well as an interpreted vocabulary over an infinite domain. This formalism was denoted embedded finite model theory in the past.…

Analysing several characteristic mathematical models: natural and real numbers, Euclidean geometry, group theory, and set theory, I argue that a mathematical model in its final form is a junction of a set of axioms and an internal partial…

In this paper we consider a fragment of the first-order theory of the real numbers that includes systems of equations of continuous functions in bounded domains, and for which all functions are computable in the sense that it is possible to…

We initiate the effective metric structure theory of Keisler randomizations. We show that a classical countable structure $\mathcal{M}$ has a decidable presentation if and only if its Borel randomization $\mathcal{M}^{[0,1)}$ has a…

Brouwer's constructivist foundations of mathematics is based on an intuitively meaningful notion of computation shared by all mathematicians. Martin-L\"of's meaning explanations for constructive type theory define the concept of a type in…

We present a comprehensive survey of constructions of the real numbers (from either the rationals or the integers) in a unified fashion, thus providing an overview of most (if not all) known constructions ranging from the earliest attempts…

The problem of deciding whether CSP instances admit solutions has been deeply studied in the literature, and several structural tractability results have been derived so far. However, constraint satisfaction comes in practice as a…

We introduce an axiomatization for the notion of computation. Based on the idea of Brouwer choice sequences, we construct a model, denoted by $E$, which satisfies our axioms and $E \models \mathrm{ P \neq NP}$. In other words, regarding…
