We consider first-order logics of sequences ordered by the subsequence ordering, aka sequence embedding. We show that the \Sigma_2 theory is undecidable, answering a question left open by Kuske. Regarding fragments with a bounded number of…
A uniformly continuously integrable sequence of real-valued measurable functions, defined on some probability space, is relatively compact in the $\sigma(L^1,L^\infty)$ topology. In this paper, we link such a result to weak convergence…
We give a constructive proof of the finite version of Gowers' $FIN_k$ Theorem and analyse the corresponding upper bounds. The $FIN_k$ Theorem is closely related to the oscillation stability of $c_0$. The stabilization of Lipschitz functions…
We introduce the $\Sigma_1$-definable universal finite sequence and prove that it exhibits the universal extension property amongst the countable models of set theory under end-extension. That is, (i) the sequence is $\Sigma_1$-definable…
We show that the theory $\mathsf{WKL}^*_0+\mathsf{CAC}$ is polynomially simulated by $\mathsf{RCA}_0^*$ with respect to $\forall\Pi^0_3$ formulas. For the proof, we use the method of forcing interpretations and syntactically simulate a…
This short note presents a new relation between coherent spaces and finiteness spaces. This takes the form of a functor from COH to FIN commuting with the additive and multiplicative structure of linear logic. What makes this correspondence…
We study the consistency strength of Lebesgue measurability for $\Sigma^1_3$ sets over Zermelo set theory ($Z$) in a completely choiceless context. We establish a result analogous to the Solovay-Shelah theorem.
Let G be a simple, simply connected algebraic group defined over an algebraically closed field k of positive characteristic p. Let \sigma:G->G be a strict endomorphism (i. e., the subgroup G(\sigma) of \sigma-fixed points is finite). Also,…
The stable Ramsey's theorem for pairs has been the subject of numerous investigations in mathematical logic. We introduce a weaker form of it by restricting from the class of all stable colorings to subclasses of it that are non-null in a…
Simpson and the second author asked whether there exists a characterization of the natural numbers by a second-order sentence which is provably categorical in the theory RCA$^*_0$. We answer in the negative, showing that for any…
We discuss an incompleteness result proven by Bezboruah and Shepherdson. This result tells us that the weak theory ${\sf PA}^-$ does not prove the consistency of any theory (under certain assumptions explained in the paper). Kreisel argued…
The proofs of K. Oka's Coherence Theorems are based on Weierstrass' Preparation (division) Theorem. Here we formulate and prove a Weak Coherence Theorem without using Weierstrass' Preparation Theorem, but only with power series expansions:…
In reverse mathematics, real numbers are traditionally represented by Cauchy sequences with a given rate of convergence. We work without rates and speak of slow Cauchy sequences. It turns out that almost all one-dimensional real analysis…
Coalgebras for a functor model different types of transition systems in a uniform way. This paper focuses on a uniform account of finitary logics for set-based coalgebras. In particular, a general construction of a logic from an arbitrary…
One of the nice properties of the first-order logic is the compactness of satisfiability. It state that a finitely satisfiable theory is satisfiable. However, different degrees of satisfiability in many-valued logics, poses various kind of…
The weak regular coherence is a coarse property of a finitely generated group $\Gamma$. It was introduced by G. Carlsson and this author to play the role of a weakening of Waldhausen's regular coherence as part of computation of the…
The purpose of this article is to establish theories concerning $p$-adic analogues of Hodge cohomology and Deligne-Beilinson cohomology with coefficients in variations of mixed Hodge structures. We first study log overconvergent…
Cousin's lemma is a compactness principle that naturally arises when studying the gauge integral, a generalisation of the Lebesgue integral. We study the axiomatic strength of Cousin's lemma for various classes of functions, using Friedman…
We derive a new sufficient condition for the existence of {\omega}-categorical universal structures in classes of relational structures with constraints, augmenting results by Cherlin, Shelah, Chi, and Hubi\v{c}ka and Ne\v{s}et\v{r}il.…
We investigate the statement "the order topology of every countable complete linear order is compact" in the framework of reverse mathematics, and we find that the statement's strength depends on the precise formulation of compactness. If…
