Based on the class of epsilon numbers, another binary relational <^1 in the ordinals is introduced. We will see that we can easily describe all the isomorphisms that are witnesses of <^1. Afterwards we will show that the isomorphisms…

This is the first in a series of several articles. Our general purpose is to investigate Carlson's <_1-relation in the whole class of ordinals and later link it with ordinals of proof-theoretic interests. In this introductory article, after…

We provide mutual elementary recursive order isomorphisms between classical ordinal notations, based on Skolem hulling, and notations from pure elementary patterns of resemblance of order $2$, showing that the latter characterize the…

Timothy Carlson's patterns of resemblance employ the notion of $\Sigma_1$-elementarity to describe large computable ordinals. It has been conjectured that a relativization of these patterns to dilators leads to an equivalence with…

We introduce ordinal collapsing principles that are inspired by proof theory but have a set theoretic flavor. These principles are shown to be equivalent to iterated $\Pi^1_1$-comprehension and the existence of admissible sets, over weak…

We introduce a new covering property, defined in terms of order types of sequences of open sets, rather than in terms of cardinalities of families. The most general form of this compactness notion depends on two ordinal parameters. In the…

Ordinal analysis induces a partition of $\Sigma^1_1$-definable and $\Pi^1_1$-sound theories whereby two theories are equivalent if they have the same proof-theoretic ordinal. We show that no equivalence relation $\equiv$ is finer than the…

For every partial combinatory algebra (pca), we define a hierarchy of extensionality relations using ordinals. We investigate the closure ordinals of pca's, i.e. the smallest ordinals where these relations become equal. We show that the…

We study the question of when a given countable ordinal $\alpha$ is $\Sigma^1_n$- or $\Pi^1_n$-reflecting in models which are neither $\mathsf{PD}$ models nor the constructible universe, focusing on generic extensions of $L$. We prove,…

We develop the abstract framework for a proof-theoretic analysis of theories with scope beyond ordinal numbers, resulting in an analog of Ordinal Analysis aimed at the study of theorems of complexity $\Pi^1_2$. This is done by replacing the…

In this paper, we obtain several new factorization results for certain classes of polynomials having integer coefficients. In doing so, we use the information about prime factorization of the value taken up by such polynomials and their…

The paper focuses on the structure of fundamental sequences of ordinals smaller than $\epsilon_0$. A first result is the construction of a monadic second-order formula identifying a given structure, whereas such a formula cannot exist for…

There are two major generalizations of the standard ordinal analysis: One is Girard's $\Pi^1_2$-proof theory in which dilators are assigned to theories instead of ordinals. The other is Pohlers' generalized ordinal analysis with Spector…

In this paper, we give two proofs of the wellfoundedness of recursive notation systems for $\Pi_N$-reflecting ordinals. One is based on $\Pi_{N-1}^0$-inductive definitions, and the other is based on distinguished classes.

In arXiv:2204.03190, we proposed a universal method to reduce one-loop integrals with both tensor structure and higher-power propagators. But the method is quite redundant as it does not utilize the results of lower rank cases when…

Consider the following curious puzzle: call an n-tuple X=(X_1, ..., X_n) of sets smaller than another n-tuple Y if it has fewer //unordered sections//. We show that equivalence classes for this preorder are very easy to describe and…

There is no infinite sequence of $\Pi^1_1$-sound extensions of $\mathsf{ACA}_0$ each of which proves $\Pi^1_1$-reflection of the next. This engenders a well-founded ``reflection ranking'' of $\Pi^1_1$-sound extensions of $\mathsf{ACA}_0$.…

This paper introduces a causation coefficient which is defined in terms of probabilistic causal models. This coefficient is suggested as the natural causal analogue of the Pearson correlation coefficient and permits comparing causation and…

In this paper we give an overview of an essential part of a Pi^0_1 ordinal analysis of Peano Arithmetic (PA) as presented by Beklemishev. This analysis is mainly performed within the polymodal provability logic GLP. We reflect on ways of…

In this note we give a simplified ordinal analysis of first-order reflection. An ordinal notation system $OT$ is introduced based on $\psi$-functions. Provable $\Sigma_{1}$-sentences on $L_{\omega_{1}^{CK}}$ are bounded through…
