    Linear extensions of partial orders and Reverse Mathematics

    Full text link
    We introduce the notion of \tau-like partial order, where \tau is one of the linear order types \omega, \omega*, \omega+\omega*, and \zeta. For example, being \omega-like means that every element has finitely many predecessors, while being \zeta-like means that every interval is finite. We consider statements of the form "any \tau-like partial order has a \tau-like linear extension" and "any \tau-like partial order is embeddable into \tau" (when \tau\ is \zeta\ this result appears to be new). Working in the framework of reverse mathematics, we show that these statements are equivalent either to B\Sigma^0_2 or to ACA_0 over the usual base system RCA_0.Comment: 8 pages, minor changes suggested by referee.

    Let L\mathscr{L} be a recursive language. Let S(L)S(\mathscr{L}) be the set of L\mathscr{L}-structures with domain ω\omega. Let Φ:ω2→S(L)\Phi : {}^\omega 2 \rightarrow S(\mathscr{L}) be a Δ11\Delta_1^1 function with the property that for all x,y∈ω2x,y \in {}^\omega 2, ω1x=ω1y\omega_1^x = \omega_1^y if and only if Φ(x)≈LΦ(y)\Phi(x) \approx_{\mathscr{L}} \Phi(y). Then there is some x∈ω2x \in {}^\omega 2 so that SR(Φ(x))=ω1x+1\mathrm{SR}(\Phi(x)) = \omega_1^x + 1

    On structures in hypergraphs of models of a theory

    We define and study structural properties of hypergraphs of models of a theory including lattice ones. Characterizations for the lattice properties of hypergraphs of models of a theory, as well as for structures on sets of isomorphism types of models of a theory, are given
