We investigate the model completeness of the theory of a mixed characteristic henselian valued field with finite ramification relative to the residue field and value group. We address the case in which the valued field has a value group…
We introduce a new weak variation of diamond that is meant to only guess the branches of a Kurepa tree. We demonstrate that this variation is considerably weaker than diamond by proving it is compatible with Martin's axiom. We then prove…
We provide two types of guessing principles for ultrafilter ($\diamondsuit^{-}_{\lambda}(U), \ \diamondsuit^p_\lambda(U)$) on $\omega$ which form subclasses of Tukey-top ultrafilters, and construct such ultrafilters in $ZFC$. These…
We present a two-level theory to formalize constructive mathematics as advocated in a previous paper with G. Sambin. One level is given by an intensional type theory, called Minimal type theory. This theory extends the set-theoretic version…
Conjunctive table algebras are introduced and axiomatically characterized. A conjunctive table algebra is a variant of SPJR algebra (a weaker form of relational algebra), which corresponds to conjunctive queries with equality. The table…
Multiplicative linear logic is a very well studied formal system, and most such studies are concerned with the one-sided sequent calculus. In this paper we look in detail at existing translations between a deep inference system and the…
Constructive dualities have been recently proposed for some lattice based algebras and a related project has been outlined by Holliday and Bezhanishvili, aiming at obtaining "choice-free spatial dualities for other classes of algebras…
We show that restricting the elimination principle of the natural numbers type in Martin-L\"of Type Theory (MLTT) to a universe of types not containing $\Pi$-types ensures that all definable functions are primitive recursive. This extends…
Our main result, Theorem 3.3, uses Friedman's Jump Free Theorem, Theorem 2.7, which he has shown to be independent of ZFC, the usual axioms of set theory. We conjecture that Theorem 3.3, a straight forward translation of the statement of…
We examine the interplay between projectivity (in the sense that was introduced by S.~Ghilardi) and uniform post-interpolant for the classical and intuitionistic propositional logic. More precisely, we explore whether a projective…
In the study of the arithmetic degrees (the degree structure induced by relative arithmetic definability, ($\leq_{a}$) the $\omega$-REA sets play a role analogous to the role the r.e. degrees play in the study of the Turing degrees.…
In the context of $\mathsf{ZF}+\mathsf{DC}$, we force $\mathsf{DC}_\kappa$ for relations on $\mathcal{P}(\kappa)$ for $\kappa{}<\aleph_\omega$ over the Chang model $\mathrm{L}(\mathrm{Ord}^\omega)$ making some assumptions on the thorn…
Assume $\text{MA}(\kappa)$. We show that for every real chain of size $\kappa$ in the quotient Boolean algebra $P(\omega)/fin$ we can find an almost chain of representatives such that every $n\in\omega$ oscillates at most three times along…
Based on the notion of thin sets introduced recently by T.~Banakh, Sz.~G\l{}\k{a}b, E.~Jab\l{}o\'nska and J.~Swaczyna we deliver a study of the infinite single-message transmission protocols. Such protocols are associated with a set of…
We prove that if $A$ is a computable Hopfian finitely presented structure, then $A$ has a computable $d$-$\Sigma_2$ Scott sentence if and only if the weak Whitehead problem for $A$ is decidable. We use this to infer that every hyperbolic…
We start a systematic analysis of the first-order model theory of free lattices. Firstly, we prove that the free lattices of finite rank are not positively indistinguishable, as there is a positive $\exists \forall$-sentence true in…
$\mathop{\rm rp}\nolimits ({\mathbb B})$ denotes the reduced power ${\mathbb B}^\omega /\Phi$ of a Boolean algebra ${\mathbb B}$, where $\Phi$ is the Fr\'{e}chet filter $\Phi$ on $\omega$. We investigate iterated reduced powers…
In this paper we give an ordinal analysis of the theory of second order arithmetic. We do this by working with proof trees -- that is, "deductions" which may not be well-founded. Working in a suitable theory, we are able to represent…
We explore the interplay between omega-categoricity and pseudofiniteness for groups, conjecturing that omega-categorical pseudofinite groups are finite-by-abelian-by-finite. We show that the conjecture reduces to nilpotent p-groups of class…
Uniform preorders are a class of combinatory representations of Set-indexed preorders that generalize Pieter Hofstra's basic relational objects. An indexed preorder is representable by a uniform preorder if and only if it has as generic…
