The cohesive and stable Ramsey theorems and proof size over a weak base theory

Leszek Aleksander Kołodziejczyk, Mengzhou Sun

We show that over the weak base theory , cohesive Ramsey's theorem for pairs implies exponential closure of the definable cut ,…

Tightness and solidity in fragments of Peano Arithmetic

Piotr Gruza, Leszek Aleksander Kołodziejczyk, Mateusz Łełyk

It was shown by Visser that Peano Arithmetic has the property that any two bi-interpretable extensions of it (in the same language) are equivalent. Enayat proposed to refer to this…

The strength of the dominance rule

Leszek Aleksander Kołodziejczyk, Neil Thapen

It has become standard that, when a SAT solver decides that a CNF is unsatisfiable, it produces a certificate of unsatisfiability in the form of a refutation of in some pro…

An isomorphism theorem for models of Weak König's Lemma without primitive recursion

Marta Fiori-Carones, Leszek Aleksander Kołodziejczyk, Tin Lok Wong +1

We prove that if and are countable models of the theory such that fails for some $A \in \mathcal{X} \cap \…

Weaker cousins of Ramsey's theorem over a weak base theory

Marta Fiori-Carones, Leszek Aleksander Kołodziejczyk, Katarzyna W. Kowalik

The paper is devoted to a reverse-mathematical study of some well-known consequences of Ramsey's theorem for pairs, focused on the chain-antichain principle , the asc…

Ramsey's theorem for pairs, collection, and proof size

Leszek Aleksander Kołodziejczyk, Tin Lok Wong, Keita Yokoyama

We prove that any proof of a sentence in the theory can be translated into a proof in at the cost of a polynomia…

Approximate counting and NP search problems

Leszek Aleksander Kołodziejczyk, Neil Thapen

We study a new class of NP search problems, those which can be proved total using standard combinatorial reasoning based on approximate counting. Our model for this kind of reasoni…

Some upper bounds on ordinal-valued Ramsey numbers for colourings of pairs

Leszek Aleksander Kołodziejczyk, Keita Yokoyama

We study Ramsey's theorem for pairs and two colours in the context of the theory of -large sets introduced by Ketonen and Solovay. We prove that any -colouring of pairs from…

New bounds on the strength of some restrictions of Hindman's Theorem

Lorenzo Carlucci, Leszek Aleksander Kołodziejczyk, Francesco Lepore +1

We prove upper and lower bounds on the effective content and logical strength for a variety of natural restrictions of Hindman's Finite Sums Theorem. For example, we show that Hind…

The logical strength of Büchi's decidability theorem

Leszek Kołodziejczyk, Henryk Michalewski, Cécilia Pradic +1

We study the strength of axioms needed to prove various results related to automata on infinite words and Büchi's theorem on the decidability of the MSO theory of . We…

How unprovable is Rabin's decidability theorem?

Leszek Aleksander Kołodziejczyk, Henryk Michalewski

We study the strength of set-theoretic axioms needed to prove Rabin's theorem on the decidability of the MSO theory of the infinite binary tree. We first show that the complementat…

End-extensions of models of weak arithmetic from complexity-theoretic containments

Leszek Aleksander Kołodziejczyk

We prove that if the linear-time and polynomial-time hierarchies coincide, then every model of has a proper end-extension to a model of $Π_1(\mathbb{N}…

math.LO2014

Categorical characterizations of the natural numbers require primitive recursion

Leszek Aleksander Kołodziejczyk, Keita Yokoyama

Simpson and the second author asked whether there exists a characterization of the natural numbers by a second-order sentence which is provably categorical in the theory RCA.…

Small Stone in Pool

Samuel R. Buss, Leszek Aleksander Kolodziejczyk

The Stone tautologies are known to have polynomial size resolution refutations and require exponential size regular refutations. We prove that the Stone tautologies also have polyn…
