Realizability for Constructive Zermelo-Fraenkel Set Theory
نویسنده
چکیده
Constructive Zermelo-Fraenkel Set Theory, CZF, has emerged as a standard reference theory that relates to constructive predicative mathematics as ZFC relates to classical Cantorian mathematics. A hallmark of this theory is that it possesses a type-theoretic model. Aczel showed that it has a formulae-as-types interpretation in Martin-Löf’s intuitionist theory of types [14, 15]. This paper, though, is concerned with a rather different interpretation. It is shown that Kleene realizability provides a self-validating semantics for CZF, viz. this notion of realizability can be formalized in CZF and demonstrably in CZF it can be verified that every theorem of CZF is realized. This semantics, then, is put to use in establishing several equiconsistency results. Specifically, augmenting CZF by well-known principles germane to Russian constructivism and Brouwer’s intuitionism turns out to engender theories of equal proof-theoretic strength with the same stock of provably recursive functions.

The disjunction and related properties for constructive Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory
This paper proves that the disjunction property, the numerical existence property, Church’s rule, and several other metamathematical properties hold true for Constructive Zermelo-Fraenkel Set Theory, CZF, and also for the theory CZF augmented by the Regular Extension Axiom. As regards the proof technique, it features a self-validating semantics for CZF that combines realizability for extensiona...

متن کاملConstructive Set Theory and Brouwerian Principles
The paper furnishes realizability models of constructive Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory, CZF, which also validate Brouwerian principles such as the axiom of continuous choice (CC), the fan theorem (FT), and bar induction (BI), and thereby determines the proof-theoretic strength of CZF augmented by these principles. The upshot is that CZF+CC+FT possesses the same strength as CZF, or more precisely,...
متن کاملNormalization of IZF with Replacement
IZF is a well investigated impredicative constructive version of Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory. Using set terms, we axiomatize IZF with Replacement, which we call IZFR, along with its intensional counterpart IZF − R. We define a typed lambda calculus λZ corresponding to proofs in IZF−R according to the Curry-Howard isomorphism principle. Using realizability for IZF−R, we show weak normalization o...
متن کاملLifschitz realizability for intuitionistic Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory
A variant of realizability for Heyting arithmetic which validates Church’s thesis with uniqueness condition, but not the general form of Church’s thesis, was introduced by V. Lifschitz in [15]. A Lifschitz counterpart to Kleene’s realizability for functions (in Baire space) was developed by van Oosten [19]. In that paper he also extended Lifschitz’ realizability to second order arithmetic. The ...
