We present in this paper an adaptation of the process of combination of logics known as fibring introduced by D. Gabbay. We are focused on the combination of two logics defined by matrix semantics, and based on pairs of functions that…

In the Zermelo--Fraenkel set theory with the Axiom of Choice a forcing notion is "$\kappa$-distributive" if and only if it is "$\kappa$-sequential". We show that without the Axiom of Choice this equivalence fails, even if we include a weak…

We develop various Ehrenfeucht-Fra\"{\i}ss\'{e} games for distances between metric structures. We study two forms of distances: pseudometrics stemming from mapping spaces onto each other with some form of approximate isomorphism, and…

We show that if a subgroup of the automorphism group of the Fraisse limit of finite Heyting algebras has a countable index, then it lies between the pointwise and setwise stabilizer of some finite set.

We systematically study several versions of the disjunction and the existence properties in modal arithmetic. First, we newly introduce three classes $\mathrm{B}$, $\Delta(\mathrm{B})$, and $\Sigma(\mathrm{B})$ of formulas of modal…

In [5] Soare and Stob prove that if $A$ is an r.e. set which isn't computable then there is a set of the form $A \oplus W^A_e$ which isn't of r.e. Turing degree. If we define a properly $n+1$-REA set to be an $n+1$-REA set which isn't…

We investigate the theory PAI (Peano Arithmetic with Indiscernibles). Models of PAI are of the form (M, I), where M is a model of PA, I is an unbounded set of order indiscernibles over M, and (M, I) satisfies the extended induction scheme…

This paper reports on an exploration of Boolos' Curious Inference, using higher-order automated theorem provers (ATPs). Surprisingly, only suitable shorthand notations had to be provided by hand for ATPs to find a short proof. The…

We investigate pseudopowers of singular cardinals, and show that deduce some consequences for cardinal arithmetic. For example, we show that in {\sf ZFC} that…

We study some dynamical aspects of the action of automorphisms in model theory in particular in the presence of invariant measures. We give some characterizations for NIP theories in terms of dynamics of automorphisms and invariant measures…

We present the model theoretic concepts that allow mathematics to be developed with the notion of the potential infinite instead of the actual infinite. The potential infinite is understood as a dynamic notion, being an indefinitely…

In arXiv:2209.04859 Andy Zucker and Chris Lambie-Hanson proved the consistency result for some coloring principle for the products of polish spaces by at most countable many colors. This principle easy implies Halpern and L\"auchli's…

A Kleene lattice is a distributive lattice equipped with an antitone involution and satisfying the so-called normality condition. These lattices were introduced by J. A. Kalman. We extended this concept also for posets with an antitone…

We prove that the forcing axiom $MA^{1.5}_{\aleph_2}(\mbox{stratified})$ implies $\Box_{\omega_1, \omega_1}$. Using this implication, we show that the forcing axiom $MM_{\aleph_2}(\aleph_2\mbox{-c.c.})$ is inconsistent. We also derive weak…

These notes form part of a joint research project on the logic of fields with many valuations, connected by a product formula. We define such structures and name them {\em globally valued fields} (GVFs). This text aims primarily at a proof…

We introduce a new family of jump operators on Borel equivalence relations; specifically, for each countable group $\Gamma$ we introduce the $\Gamma$-jump. We study the elementary properties of the $\Gamma$-jumps and compare them with other…

Tibor Rado defined the Busy Beaver Competition in 1962. He used Turing machines to give explicit definitions for some functions that are not computable and grow faster than any computable function. He put forward the problem of computing…

We develop a classical propositional logic for reasoning about combinatory logic. We define its syntax, axiomatic system and semantics. The syntax and axiomatic system are presented based on classical propositional logic, with typed…

We introduce a realisability semantics for infinitary intuitionistic set theory that is based on Ordinal Turing Machines (OTMs). We show that our notion of OTM-realisability is sound with respect to certain systems of infinitary…

For a bivariate $P(x,y) \in \mathbb{R}[x,y]\setminus (\mathbb{R}[x] \cup \mathbb{R}[y])$, our first result shows that for all finite $A \subseteq \mathbb{R}$, $|P(A,A)|\geq \alpha|A|^{5/4}$ with $\alpha =\alpha(\mathrm{deg} P) \in…
