The Order of Reflection

Logic 2021-01-13 v1

Abstract

Extending Aanderaa's classical result that π11<σ11\pi^1_1<\sigma^1_1, we determine the order between any two patterns of iterated Σ11\Sigma^1_1- and Π11\Pi^1_1-reflection. We show that this \emph{linear reflection order} is a prewellordering of length ωω\omega^\omega. This requires considering the relationship between linear and some \emph{non-linear} reflection patterns, such as σ11π11\sigma^1_1\wedge\pi^1_1, the pattern of simultaneous Σ11\Sigma^1_1- and Π11\Pi^1_1-reflection.
