In [[mathematical logic]], '''second-order arithmetic''' is a collection of [[axiom]]atic systems that formalize the [[natural number]]s and their subsets. It is an alternative to [[axiomatic set theory]] as a [[foundation of mathematics|foundation]] for much, but not all, of mathematics. It was introduced by [[David Hilbert]] and [[Paul Bernays]] in their book [[Grundlagen der Mathematik]]. The standard axiomatization of second-order arithmetic is denoted Z<sub>2</sub>. | |||
Second-order arithmetic includes, but is significantly stronger than, its [[first order logic|first-order]] counterpart [[Peano arithmetic]]. Unlike Peano arithmetic, second-order arithmetic allows [[quantification]] over sets of numbers as well as numbers themselves. Because [[real number]]s can be represented as ([[infinite set|infinite]]) sets of natural numbers in well-known ways, and because second order arithmetic allows [[quantification]] over such sets, it is possible to formalize the [[real number]]s in second-order arithmetic. For this reason, second-order arithmetic is sometimes called “[[mathematical analysis|analysis]]”. | |||
Second-order arithmetic can also be seen as a weak version of [[set theory]] in which every element is either a natural number or a set of natural numbers. Although it is much weaker than [[Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory]], second-order arithmetic can prove essentially all of the results of [[classical mathematics]] expressible in its language. | |||
A '''subsystem of second-order arithmetic''' is a theory in the language of second-order arithmetic each axiom of which is a theorem of full second-order arithmetic (Z<sub>2</sub>). Such subsystems are essential to [[reverse mathematics]], a research program investigating how much of classical mathematics can be derived in certain weak subsystems of varying strength. Much of core mathematics can be formalized in these weak subsystems, some of which are defined below. Reverse mathematics also clarifies the extent and manner in which classical mathematics is [[nonconstructive]]. | |||
== | ==Definition== | ||
===Syntax=== | |||
The language of second-order arithmetic is two-sorted. The first sort of [[Term (mathematics)|terms]] and [[Variable (mathematics)|variables]], usually denoted by lower case letters, consists of [[individual]]s, whose intended interpretation is as natural numbers. The other sort of variables, variously called “set variables,” “class variables,” or even “predicates” are usually denoted by upper case letters. They refer to classes/predicates/properties of individuals, and so can be thought of as sets of natural numbers. Both individuals and set variables can be quantified universally or existentially. A formula with no [[bound variable|bound]] set variables (that is, no quantifiers over set variables) is called '''arithmetical'''. An arithmetical formula may have free set variables and bound individual variables. | |||
Individual terms are formed from the constant 0, the unary function ''S'' (the ''[[successor function]]''), and the binary operations + and · (addition and multiplication). The successor function adds 1 (=''S''0) to its input. The relations = (equality) and < (comparison of natural numbers) relate two individuals, whereas the relation ∈ (membership) relates an individual and a set (or class). | |||
For example, <math>\forall n (n\in X \rightarrow Sn \in X)</math>, is a [[well-formed formula]] of second-order arithmetic that is arithmetical, has one free set variable ''X'' and one bound individual variable ''n'' (but no bound set variables, as is required of an arithmetical formula)—whereas <math>\exists X \forall n(n\in X \leftrightarrow n < SSSSSS0\cdot SSSSSSS0)</math> is a well-formed formula that is not arithmetical with one bound set variable ''X'' and one bound individual variable ''n''. | |||
===Semantics=== | |||
Several different interpretations of the quantifiers are possible. If second-order arithmetic is studied using the full semantics of [[second-order logic]] then the set quantifiers range over all subsets of the range of the number variables. If second-order arithmetic is formalized using the semantics of [[first-order logic]] then any model includes a domain for the set variables to range over, and this domain may be a proper subset of the full powerset of the domain of number variables. | |||
Although second-order arithmetic was originally studied using full second-order semantics, the vast majority of current research treats second-order arithmetic in [[first-order predicate calculus]]. This is because the model theory of subsystems of second-order arithmetic is more interesting in the setting of first-order logic. | |||
===Axioms=== | |||
====Basic==== | |||
The following axioms are known as the ''basic axioms'', or sometimes the ''Robinson axioms.'' The resulting [[first-order theory]], known as [[Robinson arithmetic]], is essentially [[Peano arithmetic]] without induction. The [[domain of discourse]] for the [[quantification|quantified variable]]s is the [[natural number]]s, collectively denoted by '''N''', and including the distinguished member <math>\ 0</math>, called "[[zero]]." | |||
The primitive functions are the unary [[successor function]], denoted by [[prefix]] <math>\ S,</math>, and two [[binary operation]]s, [[addition]] and [[multiplication]], denoted by [[infix]] "+" and "<math> \cdot</math>", respectively. There is also a primitive [[binary relation]] called [[order relation|order]], denoted by infix "<". | |||
Axioms governing the [[successor function]] and [[zero]]: | |||
= | :1. <math>\forall m [Sm=0 \rightarrow \bot].</math> (“the successor of a natural number is never zero”) | ||
:2. <math>\forall m \forall n [Sm=Sn \rightarrow m=n].</math> (“the successor function is [[Injective function|injective]]”) | |||
== | :3. <math>\forall n [0=n \lor \exists m [Sm=n] ].</math> (“every natural number is zero or a successor”) | ||
[[Addition]] defined [[recursion|recursively]]: | |||
:4. <math>\forall m [m+0=m].</math> | |||
:5. <math>\forall m \forall n [m+Sn = S(m+n)].</math> | |||
[[Multiplication]] defined recursively: | |||
:6. <math>\forall m [m\cdot 0 = 0].</math> | |||
:7. <math>\forall m \forall n [m \cdot Sn = (m\cdot n)+m].</math> | |||
Axioms governing the [[order relation]] "<": | |||
:8. <math>\forall m [m<0 \rightarrow \bot].</math> (“no natural number is smaller than zero”) | |||
:9. <math>\forall m [m<Sn \leftrightarrow (m<n \lor m=n)].</math> | |||
:10. <math>\forall n [0=n \lor 0<n].</math> (“every natural number is zero or bigger than zero”) | |||
:11. <math>\forall m \forall n [(Sm<n \lor Sm=n) \leftrightarrow m<n].</math> | |||
These axioms are all [[first order logic|first order statements]]. That is, all variables range over the [[natural number]]s and not [[set theory|sets]] thereof, a fact even stronger than their being arithmetical. Moreover, there is but one [[existential quantifier]], in axiom 3. Axioms 1 and 2, together with an [[Peano axioms|axiom schema of induction]] make up the usual [[Peano axioms|Peano-Dedekind]] definition of '''N'''. Adding to these axioms any sort of [[Peano axioms|axiom schema of induction]] makes redundant the axioms 3, 10, and 11. | |||
====Induction and comprehension schema==== | |||
If φ(''n'') is a formula of second-order arithmetic with a free number variable ''n'' and possible other free number or set variables (written ''m''<sub>•</sub> and ''X''<sub>•</sub>), the '''induction axiom''' for φ is the axiom: | |||
:<math>\forall m_\bullet \forall X_\bullet ((\varphi(0) \land \forall n (\varphi(n) \rightarrow \varphi(Sn)) \rightarrow \forall n \varphi(n))</math> | |||
The ('''full''') '''second-order induction scheme''' consists of all instances of this axiom, over all second-order formulas. | |||
One particularly important instance of the induction scheme is when φ is the formula “<math>n \in X</math>” expressing the fact that ''n'' is a member of ''X'' (''X'' being a free set variable): in this case, the induction axiom for φ is | |||
:<math>\forall X ((0\in X \land \forall n (n\in X \rightarrow Sn\in X)) \rightarrow \forall n (n\in X))</math> | |||
This sentence is called the '''second-order induction axiom'''. | |||
Returning to the case where φ(''n'') is a formula with a free variable ''n'' and possibly other free variables, we define the '''comprehension axiom''' for φ to be: | |||
:<math>\forall m_\bullet \forall X_\bullet \exists Z \forall n (n\in Z \leftrightarrow \varphi(n))</math> | |||
Essentially, this allows us to form the set <math>Z = \{ n | \varphi(n) \}</math> of natural numbers satisfying φ(''n''). There is a technical restriction that the formula φ may not contain the variable ''Z'', for otherwise the formula <math>n \not \in Z</math> would lead to the comprehension axiom | |||
:<math>\exists Z \forall n ( n \in Z \leftrightarrow n \not \in Z)</math>, | |||
which is inconsistent. This convention is assumed in the remainder of this article. | |||
===The full system=== | |||
The formal theory of '''second-order arithmetic''' (in the language of second-order arithmetic) consists of the basic axioms, the comprehension axiom for every formula φ, (arithmetic or otherwise) and the second-order induction axiom. This theory is sometimes called ''full second order arithmetic'' to distinguish it from its subsystems, defined below. Second-order semantics eliminates the need for the comprehension axiom, because these semantics imply that every possible set exists. | |||
In the presence of the unrestricted comprehension scheme, the single second-order induction axiom implies each instance of the full induction scheme. Subsystems that limit comprehension in some way may offset this limitation by including part of the induction scheme. Examples of such systems are provided below. | |||
==Models of second-order arithmetic== | |||
Recall that we view second-order arithmetic as a theory in first-order predicate calculus. Thus a '''model''' <math>\mathcal{M}</math> of the language of second-order arithmetic consists of a set ''M'' (which forms the range of individual variables) together with a constant 0 (an element of ''M''), | |||
a function ''S'' from ''M'' to ''M'', two binary operations + and · on ''M'', a binary relation < on ''M'', and a collection ''D'' of subsets of ''M'', which is the range of the set variables. By omitting ''D'' we obtain a model of the language of first order arithmetic. | |||
When ''D'' is the full powerset of ''M'', the model <math>\mathcal{M}</math> is called a '''full model'''. The use of full second-order semantics is equivalent to limiting the models of second-order arithmetic to the full models. In fact, the axioms of second-order arithmetic have only one full model. This follows from the fact that the axioms of [[Peano arithmetic]] with the second-order induction axiom have only one model under second-order semantics. | |||
When ''M'' is the usual set of natural numbers with its usual operations, <math>\mathcal{M}</math> is called an '''ω-model'''. In this case we may identify the model with ''D'', its collection of sets of naturals, because this set is enough to completely determine an ω-model. | |||
The unique full <math>\omega</math>-model, which is the usual set of natural numbers with its usual structure and all its subsets, is called the '''intended''' or '''standard''' model of second-order arithmetic. | |||
==Definable functions of second-order arithmetic== | |||
The first-order functions that are provably total in second-order arithmetic are precisely the same as those representable in [[system F]] (Girard ''et al.'', 1987, pp. 122–123). Almost equivalently, system F is the theory of functionals corresponding to second-order arithmetic in a manner parallel to how Gödel's [[system T]] corresponds to first-order arithmetic in the [[Dialectica interpretation]]. | |||
==Subsystems of second-order arithmetic== | |||
{{main|reverse mathematics}} | |||
There are many named subsystems of second-order arithmetic. | |||
A subscript 0 in the name of a subsystem indicates that it includes only | |||
a restricted portion of the full second-order induction scheme (Friedman 1976). Such a restriction lowers the [[proof-theoretic strength]] of the system significantly. For example, the system ACA<sub>0</sub> described below is [[equiconsistency|equiconsistent]] with [[Peano arithmetic]]. The corresponding theory ACA, consisting of ACA<sub>0</sub> plus the full second-order induction scheme, is stronger than Peano arithmetic. | |||
===Arithmetical comprehension=== | |||
Many of the well-studied subsystems are related to closure properties of models. For example, it can be shown that every ω-model of full second-order arithmetic is closed under [[Turing jump]], but not every ω-model closed under Turing jump is a model of full second-order arithmetic. We may ask whether there is a subsystem of second-order arithmetic satisfied by every ω-model that is closed under Turing jump and satisfies some other, more mild, closure conditions. | |||
The subsystem just described is called <math>\mathrm{ACA}_0</math>. | |||
<math>\mathrm{ACA}_0</math> is defined as the theory consisting of the basic axioms, the '''arithmetical comprehension axiom''' scheme, in other words the comprehension axiom for every ''arithmetical'' formula φ, and the ordinary second-order induction axiom; again, we could also choose to include the arithmetical induction axiom scheme, in other words the induction axiom for every arithmetical formula φ, without making a difference. | |||
It can be seen that a collection S of subsets of ω determines an ω-model of <math>\mathrm{ACA}_0</math> if and only if S is closed under Turing jump, Turing reducibility, and Turing join. | |||
The subscript 0 in <math>\mathrm{ACA}_0</math> indicates that we have not included every instance of the induction axiom in this subsystem. This makes no difference when we study only ω-models, which automatically satisfy every instance of the induction axiom. It is of crucial importance, however, when we study models that are not ω-models. The system consisting of <math>\mathrm{ACA}_0</math> plus induction for all formulas is sometimes called <math>\mathrm{ACA}</math>. | |||
The system <math>\mathrm{ACA}_0</math> is a conservative extension of '''first-order arithmetic''' (or first-order Peano axioms), defined as the basic axioms, plus the first order induction axiom scheme (for all formulas φ involving no class variables at all, bound or otherwise), in the language of first order arithmetic (which does not permit class variables at all). In particular it has the same [[Ordinal analysis|proof-theoretic ordinal]] ε<sub>0</sub> as first-order arithmetic, owing to the limited induction schema. | |||
===The arithmetical hierarchy for formulas=== | |||
{{main|Arithmetical hierarchy}} | |||
To define a second subsystem, we will need a bit more terminology. | |||
A formula is called ''bounded arithmetical'', or Δ<sup>0</sup><sub style="margin-left:-0.65em">0</sub>, when all its quantifiers are of the form ∀''n''<''t'' or ∃''n''<''t'' (where ''n'' is the individual variable being quantified and ''t'' is an individual term), where | |||
:<math>\forall n<t(\cdots)</math> | |||
stands for | |||
:<math>\forall n(n<t \rightarrow \cdots)</math> | |||
and | |||
:<math>\exists n<t(\cdots)</math> | |||
stands for | |||
:<math>\exists n(n<t \land \cdots)</math>. | |||
A formula is called Σ<sup>0</sup><sub style="margin-left:-0.65em">1</sub> (or sometimes Σ<sub>1</sub>), respectively Π<sup>0</sup><sub style="margin-left:-0.65em">1</sub> (or sometimes Π<sub>1</sub>) when it of the form ∃''m''<sub>•</sub>(φ), respectively ∀''m''<sub>•</sub>(φ) where φ is a bounded arithmetical formula and ''m'' is an individual variable (that is free in φ). More generally, a formula is called Σ<sup>0</sup><sub style="margin-left:-0.65em">''n''</sub>, respectively Π<sup>0</sup><sub style="margin-left:-0.65em">''n''</sub> when it is obtained by adding existential, respectively universal, individual quantifiers to a Π<sup>0</sup><sub style="margin-left:-0.65em">''n''−1</sub>, respectively Σ<sup>0</sup><sub style="margin-left:-0.65em">''n''−1</sub> formula (and Σ<sup>0</sup><sub style="margin-left:-0.65em">0</sub> and Π<sup>0</sup><sub style="margin-left:-0.65em">0</sub> are all equivalent to Δ<sup>0</sup><sub style="margin-left:-0.65em">0</sub>). Note that by construction all these formulas are arithmetical (no class variables are ever bound) and, in fact, by putting the formula in [[Skolem prenex form]] one can see that every arithmetical formula is equivalent to a Σ<sup>0</sup><sub style="margin-left:-0.65em">''n''</sub> or Π<sup>0</sup><sub style="margin-left:-0.65em">''n''</sub> formula for all large enough ''n''. | |||
===Recursive comprehension=== | |||
The subsystem <math>\mathrm{RCA}_0</math> is an even weaker system than <math>\mathrm{ACA}_0</math> and is often used as the base system in [[reverse mathematics]]. It consists of: the basic axioms, the Σ<sup>0</sup><sub style="margin-left:-0.65em">1</sub> induction scheme, and the Δ<sup>0</sup><sub style="margin-left:-0.65em">1</sub> comprehension scheme. The former term is clear: the Σ<sup>0</sup><sub style="margin-left:-0.65em">1</sub> induction scheme is the induction axiom for every Σ<sup>0</sup><sub style="margin-left:-0.65em">1</sub> formula φ. The term “Δ<sup>0</sup><sub style="margin-left:-0.65em">1</sub> comprehension” requires a little more explaining, however: there is no such thing as a Δ<sup>0</sup><sub style="margin-left:-0.65em">1</sub> formula (the ''intended'' meaning is a formula that is both Σ<sup>0</sup><sub style="margin-left:-0.65em">1</sub> and Π<sup>0</sup><sub style="margin-left:-0.65em">1</sub>), but we are instead postulating the comprehension axiom for every Σ<sup>0</sup><sub style="margin-left:-0.65em">1</sub> formula ''subject to the condition'' that it is equivalent to a Π<sup>0</sup><sub style="margin-left:-0.65em">1</sub> formula, in other words, for every Σ<sup>0</sup><sub style="margin-left:-0.65em">1</sub> formula φ and every Π<sup>0</sup><sub style="margin-left:-0.65em">1</sub> formula ψ we postulate | |||
:<math>\forall m \forall X ((\forall n (\varphi(n) \leftrightarrow \psi(n))) \rightarrow \exists Z \forall n (n\in Z \leftrightarrow \varphi(n)))</math> | |||
The set of first-order consequences of <math>\mathrm{RCA}_0</math> is the same as those of the subsystem IΣ<sub>1</sub> of Peano arithmetic in which induction is restricted to Σ<sup>0</sup><sub style="margin-left:-0.65em">1</sub> formulas. In turn, IΣ<sub>1</sub> is conservative over [[primitive recursive arithmetic]] (PRA) for <math>\Pi^0_2</math> sentences. Moreover, the proof-theoretic ordinal of <math>\mathrm{RCA}_0</math> is ω<sup>ω</sup>, the same as that of PRA. | |||
It can be seen that a collection S of subsets of ω determines an ω-model of <math>\mathrm{RCA}_0</math> | |||
if and only if S is closed under Turing reducibility and Turing join. In particular, the collection of all computable subsets of ω gives an ω-model of <math>\mathrm{RCA}_0</math>. This is the motivation behind the name of this system—if a set can be proved to exist using <math>\mathrm{RCA}_0</math>, then the set is computable (i.e. recursive). | |||
=== Weaker systems === | |||
Sometimes an even weaker system than <math>\mathrm{RCA}_0</math> is desired. One such system is defined as follows: one must first augment the language of arithmetic with an exponential function (in stronger systems the exponential can be defined in terms of addition and multiplication by the usual trick, but when the system becomes too weak this is no longer possible) and the basic axioms by the obvious axioms defining exponentiation inductively from multiplication; then the system consists of the (enriched) basic axioms, plus Δ<sup>0</sup><sub style="margin-left:-0.65em">1</sub> comprehension plus Δ<sup>0</sup><sub style="margin-left:-0.65em">0</sub> induction. | |||
===Stronger systems=== | |||
Much as we have defined Σ<sub>''n''</sub> and Π<sub>''n''</sub> (or, more accurately, Σ<sup>0</sup><sub style="margin-left:-0.65em">''n''</sub> and Π<sup>0</sup><sub style="margin-left:-0.65em">''n''</sub>) formulae, we can define Σ<sup>1</sup><sub style="margin-left:-0.6em">''n''</sub> and Π<sup>1</sup><sub style="margin-left:-0.6em">''n''</sub> formulae in the following way: a Δ<sup>1</sup><sub style="margin-left:-0.6em">0</sub> (or Σ<sup>1</sup><sub style="margin-left:-0.6em">0</sub> or Π<sup>1</sup><sub style="margin-left:-0.6em">0</sub>) formula is just an arithmetical formula, and a Σ<sup>1</sup><sub style="margin-left:-0.6em">''n''</sub>, respectively Π<sup>1</sup><sub style="margin-left:-0.6em">''n''</sub>, formula is obtained by adding existential, respectively universal, class quantifiers in front of a Π<sup>1</sup><sub style="margin-left:-0.6em">''n''−1</sub>, respectively Σ<sup>1</sup><sub style="margin-left:-0.6em">''n''−1</sub>. | |||
It is not too hard to see that over a not too weak system, any formula of second-order arithmetic is equivalent to a Σ<sup>1</sup><sub style="margin-left:-0.6em">''n''</sub> or Π<sup>1</sup><sub style="margin-left:-0.6em">''n''</sub> formula for all large enough ''n''. The system '''Π<sup>1</sup><sub style="margin-left:-0.6em">1</sub>-comprehension''' is the system consisting of the basic axioms, plus the ordinary second-order induction axiom and the comprehension axiom for every Π<sup>1</sup><sub style="margin-left:-0.6em">1</sub> formula φ. It is an easy exercise to show that this is actually equivalent to Σ<sup>1</sup><sub style="margin-left:-0.6em">1</sub>-comprehension (on the other hand, Δ<sup>1</sup><sub style="margin-left:-0.6em">1</sub>-comprehension, defined by the same trick as introduced earlier for Δ<sup>0</sup><sub style="margin-left:-0.65em">1</sub> comprehension, is actually weaker). | |||
== Projective Determinacy == | |||
[[Projective determinacy]] is the assertion that every two-player perfect information game with moves being integers, game length ω and projective payoff set is determined, that is one of the players has a winning strategy. (The first player wins the game if the play belongs to the payoff set; otherwise, the second player wins.) A set is projective iff (as a predicate) it is expressible by a formula in the language of second order arithmetic, allowing real numbers as parameters, so projective determinacy is expressible as a schema in the language of Z<sub>2</sub>. | |||
Many natural propositions expressible in the language of second order arithmetic are independent of Z<sub>2</sub> and even [[ZFC]] but are provable from projective determinacy. Examples include coanalytic [[Perfect_set_property|perfect subset property]], measurability and the [[property of Baire]] for <math>\Sigma^1_2</math> sets, <math>\Pi^1_3</math> [[Uniformization_(set_theory)|uniformization]], etc. Over a weak base theory (such as RCA<sub>0</sub>), projective determinacy implies comprehension and provides an essentially complete theory of second order arithmetic — natural statements in the language of Z<sub>2</sub> that are independent of Z<sub>2</sub> with projective determinacy are hard to find. <ref>{{cite journal | author = W. Hugh Woodin | title = The Continuum Hypothesis, Part I | journal = Notices of the American Mathematical Society | volume = 48 | issue = 6 | year = 2001}}</ref> | |||
ZFC + {there are ''n'' [[Woodin cardinal]]s: ''n'' is a natural number} is conservative over Z<sub>2</sub> with projective determinacy, that is a statement in the language of second order arithmetic is provable in Z<sub>2</sub> with projective determinacy iff its translation into the language of set theory is provable in ZFC + {there are ''n'' Woodin cardinals: ''n''∈N}. | |||
==Coding mathematics in second-order arithmetic== | |||
Second-order arithmetic allows us to speak directly (without coding) of natural numbers and sets of natural numbers. Pairs of natural numbers can be coded in the usual way as natural numbers, so arbitrary [[integer]]s or [[rational number]]s are first-class citizens in the same manner as natural numbers. [[Function (mathematics)|Functions]] between these sets can be encoded as sets of pairs, and hence as [[subset]]s of the natural numbers, without difficulty. [[Real number]]s can be defined as [[Cauchy sequence]]s of [[rational number]]s, but for technical reasons not discussed here, it is preferable (in the weak axiom systems above) to constrain the convergence rate (say by requiring that the distance between the ''n''-th and (''n''+1)-th term be less than 2<sup>−''n''</sup>). These systems cannot speak of real functions, or subsets of the reals. Nevertheless, [[continuous function|continuous]] real functions are legitimate objects of study, since they are defined by their values on the rationals. Moreover, a related trick makes it possible to speak of [[open subset]]s of the reals. Even [[Borel set]]s of reals can be coded in the language of second-order arithmetic, although doing so is a bit tricky. | |||

In mathematical logic, second-order arithmetic is a collection of axiomatic systems that formalize the natural numbers and their subsets. It is an alternative to axiomatic set theory as a foundation for much, but not all, of mathematics. It was introduced by David Hilbert and Paul Bernays in their book Grundlagen der Mathematik. The standard axiomatization of second-order arithmetic is denoted Z2.
Second-order arithmetic includes, but is significantly stronger than, its first-order counterpart Peano arithmetic. Unlike Peano arithmetic, second-order arithmetic allows quantification over sets of numbers as well as numbers themselves. Because real numbers can be represented as (infinite) sets of natural numbers in well-known ways, and because second order arithmetic allows quantification over such sets, it is possible to formalize the real numbers in second-order arithmetic. For this reason, second-order arithmetic is sometimes called “analysis”.
Second-order arithmetic can also be seen as a weak version of set theory in which every element is either a natural number or a set of natural numbers. Although it is much weaker than Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory, second-order arithmetic can prove essentially all of the results of classical mathematics expressible in its language.
A subsystem of second-order arithmetic is a theory in the language of second-order arithmetic each axiom of which is a theorem of full second-order arithmetic (Z2). Such subsystems are essential to reverse mathematics, a research program investigating how much of classical mathematics can be derived in certain weak subsystems of varying strength. Much of core mathematics can be formalized in these weak subsystems, some of which are defined below. Reverse mathematics also clarifies the extent and manner in which classical mathematics is nonconstructive.
Definition
Syntax
The language of second-order arithmetic is two-sorted. The first sort of terms and variables, usually denoted by lower case letters, consists of individuals, whose intended interpretation is as natural numbers. The other sort of variables, variously called “set variables,” “class variables,” or even “predicates” are usually denoted by upper case letters. They refer to classes/predicates/properties of individuals, and so can be thought of as sets of natural numbers. Both individuals and set variables can be quantified universally or existentially. A formula with no bound set variables (that is, no quantifiers over set variables) is called arithmetical. An arithmetical formula may have free set variables and bound individual variables.
Individual terms are formed from the constant 0, the unary function S (the successor function), and the binary operations + and · (addition and multiplication). The successor function adds 1 (=S0) to its input. The relations = (equality) and < (comparison of natural numbers) relate two individuals, whereas the relation ∈ (membership) relates an individual and a set (or class).
For example, , is a well-formed formula of second-order arithmetic that is arithmetical, has one free set variable X and one bound individual variable n (but no bound set variables, as is required of an arithmetical formula)—whereas is a well-formed formula that is not arithmetical with one bound set variable X and one bound individual variable n.
Semantics
Several different interpretations of the quantifiers are possible. If second-order arithmetic is studied using the full semantics of second-order logic then the set quantifiers range over all subsets of the range of the number variables. If second-order arithmetic is formalized using the semantics of first-order logic then any model includes a domain for the set variables to range over, and this domain may be a proper subset of the full powerset of the domain of number variables.
Although second-order arithmetic was originally studied using full second-order semantics, the vast majority of current research treats second-order arithmetic in first-order predicate calculus. This is because the model theory of subsystems of second-order arithmetic is more interesting in the setting of first-order logic.
Axioms
Basic
The following axioms are known as the basic axioms, or sometimes the Robinson axioms. The resulting first-order theory, known as Robinson arithmetic, is essentially Peano arithmetic without induction. The domain of discourse for the quantified variables is the natural numbers, collectively denoted by N, and including the distinguished member , called "zero."
The primitive functions are the unary successor function, denoted by prefix , and two binary operations, addition and multiplication, denoted by infix "+" and "", respectively. There is also a primitive binary relation called order, denoted by infix "<".
Axioms governing the successor function and zero:
- 2. (“the successor function is injective”)
Addition defined recursively:
Multiplication defined recursively:
Axioms governing the order relation "<":
These axioms are all first order statements. That is, all variables range over the natural numbers and not sets thereof, a fact even stronger than their being arithmetical. Moreover, there is but one existential quantifier, in axiom 3. Axioms 1 and 2, together with an axiom schema of induction make up the usual Peano-Dedekind definition of N. Adding to these axioms any sort of axiom schema of induction makes redundant the axioms 3, 10, and 11.
Induction and comprehension schema
If φ(n) is a formula of second-order arithmetic with a free number variable n and possible other free number or set variables (written m• and X•), the induction axiom for φ is the axiom:
The (full) second-order induction scheme consists of all instances of this axiom, over all second-order formulas.
One particularly important instance of the induction scheme is when φ is the formula “” expressing the fact that n is a member of X (X being a free set variable): in this case, the induction axiom for φ is
This sentence is called the second-order induction axiom.
Returning to the case where φ(n) is a formula with a free variable n and possibly other free variables, we define the comprehension axiom for φ to be:
Essentially, this allows us to form the set of natural numbers satisfying φ(n). There is a technical restriction that the formula φ may not contain the variable Z, for otherwise the formula would lead to the comprehension axiom
which is inconsistent. This convention is assumed in the remainder of this article.
The full system
The formal theory of second-order arithmetic (in the language of second-order arithmetic) consists of the basic axioms, the comprehension axiom for every formula φ, (arithmetic or otherwise) and the second-order induction axiom. This theory is sometimes called full second order arithmetic to distinguish it from its subsystems, defined below. Second-order semantics eliminates the need for the comprehension axiom, because these semantics imply that every possible set exists.
In the presence of the unrestricted comprehension scheme, the single second-order induction axiom implies each instance of the full induction scheme. Subsystems that limit comprehension in some way may offset this limitation by including part of the induction scheme. Examples of such systems are provided below.
Models of second-order arithmetic
Recall that we view second-order arithmetic as a theory in first-order predicate calculus. Thus a model of the language of second-order arithmetic consists of a set M (which forms the range of individual variables) together with a constant 0 (an element of M), a function S from M to M, two binary operations + and · on M, a binary relation < on M, and a collection D of subsets of M, which is the range of the set variables. By omitting D we obtain a model of the language of first order arithmetic.
When D is the full powerset of M, the model is called a full model. The use of full second-order semantics is equivalent to limiting the models of second-order arithmetic to the full models. In fact, the axioms of second-order arithmetic have only one full model. This follows from the fact that the axioms of Peano arithmetic with the second-order induction axiom have only one model under second-order semantics.
When M is the usual set of natural numbers with its usual operations, is called an ω-model. In this case we may identify the model with D, its collection of sets of naturals, because this set is enough to completely determine an ω-model.
The unique full -model, which is the usual set of natural numbers with its usual structure and all its subsets, is called the intended or standard model of second-order arithmetic.
Definable functions of second-order arithmetic
The first-order functions that are provably total in second-order arithmetic are precisely the same as those representable in system F (Girard et al., 1987, pp. 122–123). Almost equivalently, system F is the theory of functionals corresponding to second-order arithmetic in a manner parallel to how Gödel's system T corresponds to first-order arithmetic in the Dialectica interpretation.
Subsystems of second-order arithmetic
Mining Engineer (Excluding Oil ) Truman from Alma, loves to spend time knotting, largest property developers in singapore developers in singapore and stamp collecting. Recently had a family visit to Urnes Stave Church.
There are many named subsystems of second-order arithmetic.
A subscript 0 in the name of a subsystem indicates that it includes only a restricted portion of the full second-order induction scheme (Friedman 1976). Such a restriction lowers the proof-theoretic strength of the system significantly. For example, the system ACA0 described below is equiconsistent with Peano arithmetic. The corresponding theory ACA, consisting of ACA0 plus the full second-order induction scheme, is stronger than Peano arithmetic.
Arithmetical comprehension
Many of the well-studied subsystems are related to closure properties of models. For example, it can be shown that every ω-model of full second-order arithmetic is closed under Turing jump, but not every ω-model closed under Turing jump is a model of full second-order arithmetic. We may ask whether there is a subsystem of second-order arithmetic satisfied by every ω-model that is closed under Turing jump and satisfies some other, more mild, closure conditions. The subsystem just described is called .
is defined as the theory consisting of the basic axioms, the arithmetical comprehension axiom scheme, in other words the comprehension axiom for every arithmetical formula φ, and the ordinary second-order induction axiom; again, we could also choose to include the arithmetical induction axiom scheme, in other words the induction axiom for every arithmetical formula φ, without making a difference.
It can be seen that a collection S of subsets of ω determines an ω-model of if and only if S is closed under Turing jump, Turing reducibility, and Turing join.
The subscript 0 in indicates that we have not included every instance of the induction axiom in this subsystem. This makes no difference when we study only ω-models, which automatically satisfy every instance of the induction axiom. It is of crucial importance, however, when we study models that are not ω-models. The system consisting of plus induction for all formulas is sometimes called .
The system is a conservative extension of first-order arithmetic (or first-order Peano axioms), defined as the basic axioms, plus the first order induction axiom scheme (for all formulas φ involving no class variables at all, bound or otherwise), in the language of first order arithmetic (which does not permit class variables at all). In particular it has the same proof-theoretic ordinal ε0 as first-order arithmetic, owing to the limited induction schema.
The arithmetical hierarchy for formulas
Mining Engineer (Excluding Oil ) Truman from Alma, loves to spend time knotting, largest property developers in singapore developers in singapore and stamp collecting. Recently had a family visit to Urnes Stave Church.
To define a second subsystem, we will need a bit more terminology.
A formula is called bounded arithmetical, or Δ00, when all its quantifiers are of the form ∀n<t or ∃n<t (where n is the individual variable being quantified and t is an individual term), where
stands for
and
stands for
A formula is called Σ01 (or sometimes Σ1), respectively Π01 (or sometimes Π1) when it of the form ∃m•(φ), respectively ∀m•(φ) where φ is a bounded arithmetical formula and m is an individual variable (that is free in φ). More generally, a formula is called Σ0n, respectively Π0n when it is obtained by adding existential, respectively universal, individual quantifiers to a Π0n−1, respectively Σ0n−1 formula (and Σ00 and Π00 are all equivalent to Δ00). Note that by construction all these formulas are arithmetical (no class variables are ever bound) and, in fact, by putting the formula in Skolem prenex form one can see that every arithmetical formula is equivalent to a Σ0n or Π0n formula for all large enough n.
Recursive comprehension
The subsystem is an even weaker system than and is often used as the base system in reverse mathematics. It consists of: the basic axioms, the Σ01 induction scheme, and the Δ01 comprehension scheme. The former term is clear: the Σ01 induction scheme is the induction axiom for every Σ01 formula φ. The term “Δ01 comprehension” requires a little more explaining, however: there is no such thing as a Δ01 formula (the intended meaning is a formula that is both Σ01 and Π01), but we are instead postulating the comprehension axiom for every Σ01 formula subject to the condition that it is equivalent to a Π01 formula, in other words, for every Σ01 formula φ and every Π01 formula ψ we postulate
The set of first-order consequences of is the same as those of the subsystem IΣ1 of Peano arithmetic in which induction is restricted to Σ01 formulas. In turn, IΣ1 is conservative over primitive recursive arithmetic (PRA) for sentences. Moreover, the proof-theoretic ordinal of is ωω, the same as that of PRA.
It can be seen that a collection S of subsets of ω determines an ω-model of if and only if S is closed under Turing reducibility and Turing join. In particular, the collection of all computable subsets of ω gives an ω-model of . This is the motivation behind the name of this system—if a set can be proved to exist using , then the set is computable (i.e. recursive).
Weaker systems
Sometimes an even weaker system than is desired. One such system is defined as follows: one must first augment the language of arithmetic with an exponential function (in stronger systems the exponential can be defined in terms of addition and multiplication by the usual trick, but when the system becomes too weak this is no longer possible) and the basic axioms by the obvious axioms defining exponentiation inductively from multiplication; then the system consists of the (enriched) basic axioms, plus Δ01 comprehension plus Δ00 induction.
Stronger systems
Much as we have defined Σn and Πn (or, more accurately, Σ0n and Π0n) formulae, we can define Σ1n and Π1n formulae in the following way: a Δ10 (or Σ10 or Π10) formula is just an arithmetical formula, and a Σ1n, respectively Π1n, formula is obtained by adding existential, respectively universal, class quantifiers in front of a Π1n−1, respectively Σ1n−1.
It is not too hard to see that over a not too weak system, any formula of second-order arithmetic is equivalent to a Σ1n or Π1n formula for all large enough n. The system Π11-comprehension is the system consisting of the basic axioms, plus the ordinary second-order induction axiom and the comprehension axiom for every Π11 formula φ. It is an easy exercise to show that this is actually equivalent to Σ11-comprehension (on the other hand, Δ11-comprehension, defined by the same trick as introduced earlier for Δ01 comprehension, is actually weaker).
Projective Determinacy
Projective determinacy is the assertion that every two-player perfect information game with moves being integers, game length ω and projective payoff set is determined, that is one of the players has a winning strategy. (The first player wins the game if the play belongs to the payoff set; otherwise, the second player wins.) A set is projective iff (as a predicate) it is expressible by a formula in the language of second order arithmetic, allowing real numbers as parameters, so projective determinacy is expressible as a schema in the language of Z2.
Many natural propositions expressible in the language of second order arithmetic are independent of Z2 and even ZFC but are provable from projective determinacy. Examples include coanalytic perfect subset property, measurability and the property of Baire for sets, uniformization, etc. Over a weak base theory (such as RCA0), projective determinacy implies comprehension and provides an essentially complete theory of second order arithmetic — natural statements in the language of Z2 that are independent of Z2 with projective determinacy are hard to find. [1]
ZFC + {there are n Woodin cardinals: n is a natural number} is conservative over Z2 with projective determinacy, that is a statement in the language of second order arithmetic is provable in Z2 with projective determinacy iff its translation into the language of set theory is provable in ZFC + {there are n Woodin cardinals: n∈N}.
Coding mathematics in second-order arithmetic
Second-order arithmetic allows us to speak directly (without coding) of natural numbers and sets of natural numbers. Pairs of natural numbers can be coded in the usual way as natural numbers, so arbitrary integers or rational numbers are first-class citizens in the same manner as natural numbers. Functions between these sets can be encoded as sets of pairs, and hence as subsets of the natural numbers, without difficulty. Real numbers can be defined as Cauchy sequences of rational numbers, but for technical reasons not discussed here, it is preferable (in the weak axiom systems above) to constrain the convergence rate (say by requiring that the distance between the n-th and (n+1)-th term be less than 2−n). These systems cannot speak of real functions, or subsets of the reals. Nevertheless, continuous real functions are legitimate objects of study, since they are defined by their values on the rationals. Moreover, a related trick makes it possible to speak of open subsets of the reals. Even Borel sets of reals can be coded in the language of second-order arithmetic, although doing so is a bit tricky.
