Fusible numbers and Peano Arithmetic

چکیده
Inspired by a mathematical riddle involving fuses, we define the "fusible numbers" as follows: $0$ is fusible, and whenever $x,y$ are fusible with $|y-x|<1$, number $(x+y+1)/2$ also fusible. We prove that set of numbers, ordered usual order on $\mathbb R$, well-ordered, type $\varepsilon_0$. Furthermore, density numbers along real line grows at an incredibly fast rate: Letting $g(n)$ be largest gap between consecutive in interval $[n,\infty)$, have $g(n)^{-1} \ge F_{\varepsilon_0}(n-c)$ for some constant $c$, where $F_\alpha$ denotes fast-growing hierarchy. Finally, derive true statements can formulated but not proven Peano Arithmetic, different flavor than previously known such statements: PA cannot statement "For every natural $n$ there exists smallest larger $n$." Also, consider algorithm "$M(x)$: if $x<0$ return $-x$, else $M(x-M(x-1))/2$." Then $M$ terminates inputs, although "$M$ all inputs."

Peano Arithmetic
The project is designed for an upper level undergraduate course in mathematical logic. Although the project is relatively short, some of the exercises are not as easy as they appear. Instructors may wish to spend some class time on discussing how formal proofs should be conducted, and also provide some additional assistance with completing some of the exercises. The last part of the project ass...
متن کاملInterpretability over Peano Arithmetic
We investigate the modal logic of interpretability over Peano arith metic PA Our main result is an extension of the arithmetical complete ness theorem for the interpretability logic ILM This extension concerns recursively enumerable sets of formulas of interpretability logic rather than single formulas As corollaries we obtain a uniform arithmetical completeness theorem for the interpretability...
متن کاملInterpretability suprema in Peano Arithmetic
This paper develops the philosophy and technology needed for adding a supremum operator to the interpretability logic ILM of Peano Arithmetic (PA). It is wellknown that any theories extending PA have a supremum in the interpretability ordering. While provable in PA, this fact is not reflected in the theorems of the modal system ILM, due to limited expressive power. Our goal is to enrich the lan...
متن کاملNon-Commutative Infinitary Peano Arithmetic
Does there exist any sequent calculus such that it is a subclassical logic and it becomes classical logic when the exchange rules are added? The first contribution of this paper is answering this question for infinitary Peano arithmetic. This paper defines infinitary Peano arithmetic with non-commutative sequents, called non-commutative infinitary Peano arithmetic, so that the system becomes eq...
متن کاملTransfinite Induction within Peano Arithmetic
The relative strengths of first-order theories axiomatized by transfinite induction, for ordinals less-than ~0, and formulas restricted in quantifier complexity, is determined. This is done, in part, by describing the provably recursive functions of such theories. Upper bounds for the provably recursive functions are obtained using model-theoretic techniques. A variety of additional results tha...
