A Topological Tennenbaum Theorem

Logic 2023-11-27 v1

Abstract

We prove that in Borel models of arithmetic on an uncountable Polish space, neither addition nor multiplication is continuous. This is an analogue of Tennenbaum's Theorem for topological models of arithmetic. This answers a question of Enayat, Hamkins, and Wcis{\l}o.
