In this paper, we give characterizations of the set of $\Pi^1_{e}$-consequences, $\Sigma^1_{e}$-consequences and $\mathsf{B}(\Pi^1_{e})$-consequences of the axiomatic system of the strong dependent choice for $\Sigma^1_i$ formulas…
We investigate the set of Pi-1-2 sentences which are Pi-1-1 conservative over the theories of reverse mathematics RCA0+ISigma_n and ACA0. We exhibit new elements of these sets and conclude that the sets are Pi_2 complete. Along the way, we…
In this paper we develop a technique for proving determinacy of classes of the form $\omega^2-\Pi^1_1+\Gamma$ (a refinement of the difference hierarchy on the co-analytic sets lying between $\omega^2-\Pi^1_1$ and $(\omega^2+1)-\Pi^1_1$)…
It is known that several variations of the axiom of determinacy play important roles in the study of reverse mathematics, and the relation between the hierarchy of determinacy and comprehension are revealed by Tanaka, Nemoto, Montalb\'an,…
The paper is devoted to a reverse-mathematical study of some well-known consequences of Ramsey's theorem for pairs, focused on the chain-antichain principle $\mathsf{CAC}$, the ascending-descending sequence principle $\mathsf{ADS}$, and the…
We develop the abstract framework for a proof-theoretic analysis of theories with scope beyond ordinal numbers, resulting in an analog of Ordinal Analysis aimed at the study of theorems of complexity $\Pi^1_2$. This is done by replacing the…
We study the first-order consequences of Ramsey's Theorem for $k$-colourings of $n$-tuples, for fixed $n, k \ge 2$, over the relatively weak second-order arithmetic theory $\mathrm{RCA}^*_0$. Using the Chong-Mourad coding lemma, we show…
We show that one can force over $L$ that $\Sigma^1_3$-separation holds, while $\Pi^1_3$-reduction fails, thus separating these two principles for the first time. The construction can be lifted to canonical inner models $M_n$ with $n$-many…
We present a method which forces the failure of $\Pi^1_3$ and $\Sigma^1_3$-separation, while $\mathsf{MA} (\mathcal{I}$) holds, for $\mathcal{I}$ the family of indestructible ccc forcings. This shows that, in contrast to the assumption…
In fragments of first order arithmetic, definable maps on finite domains could behave very differently from finite maps. Here combinatorial properties of $\Sigma_{n+1}$-definable maps on finite domains are compared in the absence of…
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…
We study the logical complexity of proofs in cyclic arithmetic ($\mathsf{CA}$), as introduced in Simpson '17, in terms of quantifier alternations of formulae occurring. Writing $C\Sigma_n$ for (the logical consequences of) cyclic proofs…
This paper presents two types of results related to hyperarithmetic analysis. First, we introduce new variants of the dependent choice axiom, namely $\mathrm{unique}~\Pi^1_0(\mathrm{resp.}~\Sigma^1_1)\text{-}\mathsf{DC}_0$ and…
Extending Aanderaa's classical result that $\pi^1_1<\sigma^1_1$, we determine the order between any two patterns of iterated $\Sigma^1_1$- and $\Pi^1_1$-reflection. We show that this \emph{linear reflection order} is a prewellordering of…
We analyze Ekeland's variational principle in the context of reverse mathematics. We find that that the full variational principle is equivalent to $\Pi^1_1$-${\sf CA}_0$, a strong theory of second-order arithmetic, while natural…
Let $\mathfrak M=(M,\mathcal X)$ be a model of $\mathsf{RCA}_0+\text{$\Sigma^0_2$-bounding}$ in which $\Sigma^0_2(A)$-induction fails for some $A\in\mathcal X$. We show that (i) if $\mathfrak M$ is a model of the combinatorial principle…
We locate winning strategies for various Sigma^0_3-games in the L-hierarchy in order to prove that Sigma^0_3 Determinacy is intermediate between Pi^1_3-CA_0 (even Pi^1_2-CA_0 (lightface) with Pi^1_3-lightface definable parameters allowed)…
Timothy Carlson's patterns of resemblance employ the notion of $\Sigma_1$-elementarity to describe large computable ordinals. It has been conjectured that a relativization of these patterns to dilators leads to an equivalence with…
We study the radiative decay $\phi\to\pi^{0}\pi^{0}\gamma$ within the framework of a phenomenological approach in which the contributions of $\sigma$-meson, $\rho$-meson and $f_0$-meson are considered. We analyze the interference effects…
We present a method which allows the combination of forcing uniformization on the $\Pi$- and the $\Sigma$-side of the projective hierarchy to a certain extent. Using this method we construct a universe where ${\Pi}^1_3$-reduction holds,…
