Non-compact proofs are a class of reasoning that is used in mathematics but overlooked in the analysis of (un)provability of consistency. We focus on proofs of arithmetical statements (*) "for any natural number n, F(n)." A proof of (*) is…

In the absence of the Axiom of Choice, the "small" cardinal $\omega_1$ can exhibit properties more usually associated with large cardinals, such as strong compactness and supercompactness. For a local version of strong compactness, we say…

This paper continues the author's previous study \cite{Kura20}, showing that several weak principles inspired by non-normal modal logic suffice to derive various refined forms of the second incompleteness theorem. Among the main results of…

A classical theorem of Lusin states that all analytic sets are Lebesgue-measurable. In this article we established the reverse mathematical strength of Lusin's theorem, which depends on how precisely it is formalized. By doing so, we answer…

We analyze the pointwise convergence of a sequence of computable elements of L^1(2^omega) in terms of algorithmic randomness. We consider two ways of expressing the dominated convergence theorem and show that, over the base theory RCA_0,…

Many machine learning tasks admit multiple models that perform almost equally well, a phenomenon known as predictive multiplicity. A fundamental source of this multiplicity is observational multiplicity, which arises from the stochastic…

It is well known that the graph of a total $\mathbf{\Sigma}^1_n$-function is $\mathbf{\Pi}^1_n$. We prove the consistency of the dual assertion at the third projective level: there is a model of $\ZFC$ in which the graph of every total…

Using a result of recursive function theory and results of the complex analysis of Takeuti, which is based on a type theory and the work of Kreisel, and which gives a conservative extension of first order Peano arithmetic (PA), assuming all…

We establish the decidability of the $\Sigma_2$ theory of both the arithmetic and hyperarithmetic degrees in the language of uppersemilattices i.e. the language with $\leq, 0$ and $\sqcup$. This is achieved by using Kumabe-Slaman forcing -…

Order dimension theory measures the complexity of partially ordered sets by quantifying how far they are from being linearly ordered. In this paper we study classical bounding results for order dimension within the framework of reverse…

This paper continues the program connecting reverse mathematics and computable analysis via the framework of Weihrauch reducibility. In particular, we consider problems related to perfect subsets of Polish spaces, studying the perfect set…

It is well known that there is a correspondence between sets and complete, atomic Boolean algebras (CABA's) taking a set to its power-set and, reciprocally, a complete, atomic Boolean algebra to its set of atomic elements. Of course, such a…

The Solecki dichotomy in descriptive set theory and the Posner-Robinson theorem in computability theory bear a superficial resemblance to each other and can sometimes be used to prove the same results, but do not have any obvious direct…

In his dissertation, Wadge defined a notion of guessability on subsets of the Baire space and gave two characterizations of guessable sets. A set is guessable iff it is in the second ambiguous class (boldface Delta^0_2), iff it is…

Repetitiveness in projective and injective resolutions and its influence on homological dimensions are studied. Some variations on the theme of repetitiveness are introduced, and it is shown that the corresponding invariants lead to very…

Undecidability of various properties of first order term rewriting systems is well-known. An undecidable property can be classified by the complexity of the formula defining it. This gives rise to a hierarchy of distinct levels of…
