AbstractThere is an analogy between concepts such as end-extension types and minimal types in the model theory of Peano arithmetic and concepts such as P-points and selective ultrafilters in the theory of ultrafilters on N. Using the notion of conservative extensions of models, we prove some theorems clarifying the relation between these pairs of analogous concepts. We also use the analogy to obtain some model-theoretic results with techniques originally used in ultrafilter theory. These results assert that every countable nonstandard model of arithmetic has a bounded minimal extension and that some types in arithmetic are not 2-isolated.

AbstractIn the last few decades many formal systems of fuzzy logics have been developed. Since the main differences between fuzzy and classical logics lie at the propositional level, the fuzzy predicate logics have developed more slowly (compared to the propositional ones). In this text we aim to promote interest in fuzzy predicate logics by contributing to the model theory of fuzzy predicate logics. First, we generalize the completeness theorem, then we use it to get results on conservative extensions of theories and on witnessed models.

Let PA be the theory of first order Peano arithmetic, in the language L with binary operation symbols + and ·. Let N be the theory of the standard model of PA. We consider countable models M of PA such that the universe ∣M∣ is ω. The degree of such a model M, denoted by deg(M), is the (Turing) degree of the atomic diagram of M. The results of this paper concern the degrees of models of N, but here in the Introduction, we shall give a brief survey of results about degrees of models of PA.Let D0 denote the set of degrees d such that there is a nonstandard model of M of PA with deg(M) = d. Here are some of the more easily stated results about D0.(1) There is no recursive nonstandard model of PA; i.e., 0 ∈ D0.This is a result of Tennenbaum [T].(2) There existsd ∈ D0such thatd ≤ 0′.This follows from the standard Henkin argument.(3) There existsd ∈ D0such thatd < 0′.Shoenfield [Sh1] proved this, using the Kreisel-Shoenfield basis theorem.(4) There existsd ∈ D0such thatd′ = 0′.Jockusch and Soare [JS] improved the Kreisel-Shoenfield basis theorem and obtained (4).(5) D0 = Dc = De, where Dc denotes the set of degrees of completions of PA and De the set of degrees d such that d separates a pair of effectively inseparable r.e. sets.Solovay noted (5) in a letter to Soare in which in answer to a question posed in [JS] he showed that Dc is upward closed.

AbstractBounded lattices (that is lattices that are both lower bounded and upper bounded) form a large class of lattices that include all distributive lattices, many nondistributive finite lattices such as the pentagon lattice N5. and all lattices in any variety generated by a finite bounded lattice. Extending a theorem of Paris for distributive lattices, we prove that if L is an ℵ0-algebraic bounded lattice, then every countable nonstandard model of Peano Arithmetic has a cofinal elementary extension such that the interstructure lattice Lt(/) is isomorphic to L.

Flipping properties were introduced in set theory by Abramson, Harrington, Kleinberg and Zwicker [1]. Here we consider them in the context of arithmetic and link them with combinatorial properties of initial segments of nonstandard models studied in [3]. As a corollary we obtain independence resutls involving flipping properties.We follow the notation of the author and Paris in [3] and [2], and assume some knowledge of [3]. M will denote a countable nonstandard model of P (Peano arithmetic) and I will be a proper initial segment of M. We denote by N the standard model or the standard part of M. X ↑ I will mean that X is unbounded in I. If X ⊆ M is coded in M and M ≺ K, let X(K) be the subset of K coded in K by the element which codes X in M. So X(K) ⋂ M = X.Recall that M ≺IK (K is an I-extension of M) if M ≺ K and for some c∈K,In [3] regular and strong initial segments are defined, and among other things it is shown that I is regular if and only if there exists an I-extension of M.

AbstractThis paper addresses the structures (M, ω) and (ω, SSy(M)), whereMis a nonstandard model of PA andωis the standard cut. It is known that (ω, SSy(M)) is interpretable in (M, ω). Our main technical result is that there is an reverse interpretation of (M, ω) in (ω, SSy(M)) which is ‘local’ in the sense of Visser [11]. We also relate the model theory of (M, ω) to the study of transplendent models of PA [2].This yields a number of model theoretic results concerning theω-models (M, ω) and their standard systems SSy(M, ω), including the following.•$\left( {M,\omega } \right) \prec \left( {K,\omega } \right)$if and only if$M \prec K$and$\left( {\omega ,{\rm{SSy}}\left( M \right)} \right) \prec \left( {\omega ,{\rm{SSy}}\left( K \right)} \right)$.•$\left( {\omega ,{\rm{SSy}}\left( M \right)} \right) \prec \left( {\omega ,{\cal P}\left( \omega \right)} \right)$if and only if$\left( {M,\omega } \right) \prec \left( {{M^{\rm{*}}},\omega } \right)$for someω-saturatedM*.•$M{ \prec _{\rm{e}}}K$implies SSy(M, ω) = SSy(K, ω), but cofinal extensions do not necessarily preserve standard system in this sense.• SSy(M, ω)=SSy(M) if and only if (ω, SSy(M)) satisfies the full comprehension scheme.• If SSy(M, ω) is uniformly defined by a single formula (analogous to aβfunction), then (ω, SSy(M, ω)) satisfies the full comprehension scheme; and there are modelsMfor which SSy(M, ω) is not uniformly defined in this sense.

AbstractWe prove that in IST, Nelson's internal set theory, the Uniqueness and Collection principles, hold for all (including external) formulas. A corollary of the Collection theorem shows that in IST there are no definable mappings of a set X onto a set Y of greater (not equal) cardinality unless both sets are finite and #(Y) ≤ n #(X) for some standard n. Proofs are based on a rather general technique which may be applied to other nonstandard structures. In particular we prove that in a nonstandard model of PA, Peano arithmetic, every hyperinteger uniquely definable by a formula of the PA language extended by the predicate of standardness, can be defined also by a pure PA formula.

AbstractBy using a provability predicate of PA, we define ThmPA(M) as the set of theorems of PA in a model M of PA. We say a model M of PA is (1) illusory if ThmPA(M) ⊈ ThmPA(ℕ), (2) heterodox if ThmPA(M) ⊈ TA, (3) sane if M ⊨ ConPA, and insane if it is not sane, (4) maximally sane if it is sane and ThmPA(M) ⊆ ThmPA(N) implies ThmPA(M) = ThmPA(N) for every sane model N of PA. We firstly show that M is heterodox if and only if it is illusory, and that ThmPA(M) ∩ TA ≠ ThmPA(ℕ) for any illusory model M. Then we show that there exists a maximally sane model, every maximally sane model satisfies ¬ConPA+ConPA, and there exists a sane model of ¬ConPA+ConPA which is not maximally sane. We define that an insane model is (5) illusory by nature if its every initial segment being a nonstandard model of PA is illusory, and (6) going insane suddenly if its every initial segment being a sane model of PA is not illusory. We show that there exists a model of PA which is illusory by nature, and we prove the existence of a model of PA which is going insane suddenly.

AbstractWe construct a model of Peano arithmetic in an uncountable language which has no elementary end extension. This answers a question of Gaifman and contrasts with the well-known theorem of MacDowell and Specker which states that every model of Peano arithmetic in a countable language has an elementary end extension. The construction employs forcing in a nonstandard model.

AbstractThis is a general account of metavaluations and their applications, which can be seen as an alternative to standard model-theoretic methodology. They work best for what are called metacomplete logics, which include the contraction-less relevant logics, with possible additions of Conjunctive Syllogism, (A→B) & (B→C) → .A→C, and the irrelevant, A→ .B→A, these including the logic MC of meaning containment which is arguably a good entailment logic. Indeed, metavaluations focus on the formula-inductive properties of theorems of entailment form A→B, splintering into two types, M1- and M2-, according to key properties of negated entailment theorems (see below). Metavaluations have an inductive presentation and thus have some of the advantages that model theory does, but they represent proof rather than truth and thus represent proof-theoretic properties, such as the priming property, if ├ A $\vee$ B then ├ A or ├ B, and the negated-entailment properties, not-├ ∼(A→B) (for M1-logics, with M1-metavaluations) and ├ ∼(A→B) iff ├ A and ├ ∼ B (for M2-logics, with M2-metavaluations). Topics to be covered are their impact on naive set theory and paradox solution, and also Peano arithmetic and Godel’s First and Second Theorems. Interesting to note here is that the familiar M1- and M2-metacomplete logics can be used to solve the set-theoretic paradoxes and, by inference, the Liar Paradox and key semantic paradoxes. For M1-logics, in particular, the final metavaluation that is used to prove the simple consistency is far simpler than its correspondent in the model-theoretic proof in that it consists of a limit point of a single transfinite sequence rather than that of a transfinite sequence of such limit points, as occurs in the model-theoretic approach. Additionally, it can be shown that Peano Arithmetic is simply consistent, using metavaluations that constitute finitary methods. Both of these results use specific metavaluational properties that have no correspondents in standard model theory and thus it would be highly unlikely that such model theory could prove these results in their final forms.
