In this paper, we argue that formal systems of first order Arithmetic that admit Goedelian undecidable propositions validly are abnormally non-constructive. We argue that, in such systems, the strong representation of primitive recursive…

Let $\Gamma$ be a centerless irreducible higher rank arithmetic lattice in characteristic zero. We prove that if $\Gamma$ is either non-uniform or is uniform of orthogonal type and dimension at least 9, then $\Gamma$ is bi-interpretable…

The Hanf number for a set $S$ of sentences in $L_{\omega_1,\omega}$ (or some other logic) is the least infinite cardinal $\kappa$ such that for all $\varphi\in S$, if $\varphi$ has models in all infinite cardinalities less than $\kappa$,…

Wilke proved in 1977 that every countable model ${\mathcal M}$ of Peano Arithmetic has an elementary end extension ${\mathcal N}$ such that the interstructure lattice Lt(${\mathcal N} / {\mathcal M}$) is the pentagon lattice ${\mathbf…

We continue the study of computable embeddings for pairs of structures, i.e. for classes containing precisely two non-isomorphic structures. Surprisingly, even for some pairs of simple linear orders, computable embeddings induce a…

(1) Let 1\leq k\leq \omega. Call an atom structure \alpha weakly k neat representable, the term algebra is in \RCA_n\cap \Nr_n\CA_{n+k}, but the complex algebra is not representable. Call an atom structure neat if there is an atomic algebra…

A standard tool for classifying the complexity of equivalence relations on $\omega$ is provided by computable reducibility. This reducibility gives rise to a rich degree structure. The paper studies equivalence relations, which induce…

We study notions of generic and coarse computability in the context of computable structure theory. Our notions are stratified by the $\Sigma_\beta$ hierarchy. We focus on linear orderings. We show that at the $\Sigma_1$ level all linear…

This is a survey of results on definability and undefinability in models of arithmetic. The goal is to present a stark difference between undefinability results in the standard model and much stronger versions about expansions of…

We focus on formulae $\exists X.\, \varphi(\vec{Y}, X)$ of monadic second-order logic over the full binary tree, such that the witness $X$ is a well-founded set. The ordinal rank $\mathrm{rank}(X) < \omega_1$ of such a set $X$ measures its…

We show that for every countable recursively saturated model $M$ of Peano Arithmetic and every subset $A \subseteq M$, there exists a full satisfaction class $S_A \subset M^2$ such that $A$ is definable in $(M,S_A)$ without parametres. It…

We calculate the real rank and stable rank of CCR algebras which either have only finite dimensional irreducible representations or have finite topological dimension. We show that either rank of A is determined in a good way by the ranks of…

We prove that every computably enumerable (c.e.) random real is provable in Peano Arithmetic (PA) to be c.e. random. A major step in the proof is to show that the theorem stating that "a real is c.e. and random iff it is the halting…

Scott showed that for every countable structure $\mathcal{A}$, there is a sentence of the infinitary logic $\mathcal{L}_{\omega_1\omega}$, called a Scott sentence for $\mathcal{A}$, whose models are exactly the isomorphic copies of…

For an ordinal $\alpha$, $\sf PEA_{\alpha}$ denotes the class of polyadic equality algebras of dimension $\alpha$. We show that for several classes of algebras that are reducts of $\PEA_{\omega}$ whose signature contains all substitutions…

Cantor's ordinal numbers, a powerful extension of the natural numbers, are a cornerstone of set theory. They can be used to reason about the termination of processes, prove the consistency of logical systems, and justify some of the core…

The parameter-free part $\text{PA}_2^\ast$ of $\text{PA}_2$, the 2nd order Peano arithmetic, is considered. We make use of a product/iterated Sacks forcing to define an $\omega$-model of $\text{PA}_2^\ast + \text{CA}(\Sigma^1_2)$, in which…

We show that when certain statements are provable in subsystems of constructive analysis using intuitionistic predicate calculus, related sequential statements are provable in weak classical subsystems. In particular, if a $\Pi^1_2$…

Tennenbaum's theorem states that the only countable model of Peano arithmetic (PA) with computable arithmetical operations is the standard model of natural numbers. In this paper, we use constructive type theory as a framework to revisit,…

We use a way to extend partial combinatory algebras (pcas) by forcing them to represent certain functions. In the case of Scott's Graph model, equality is computable relative to the complement function. However, the converse is not true.…
