On the computational properties of ambivalent sets and functions

Dag Normann, Sam Sanders

Examples of discontinuous functions already appear in the work of Euler, Abel, Dirichlet, Fourier, and Bolzano. A ground-breaking discovery due to Baire was that many discontinuous…

The uncountability of the reals and the Axiom of Choice

Dag Normann, Sam Sanders

The uncountability of the reals was first established by Cantor in what was later heralded as the first paper on set theory. Since the latter constitutes the official foundations o…

On two recent extensions of the Big Five of Reverse Mathematics

Dag Normann, Sam Sanders

The program Reverse Mathematics in the foundations of mathematics seeks to identify the minimal axioms required to prove theorems of ordinary mathematics. One always assumes the ba…

On sequential theorems in Reverse Mathematics

Dag Normann, Sam Sanders

Many theorems of mathematics have the form that for a certain problem, e.g. a differential equation or polynomial (in)equality, there exists a solution. The sequential version then…

On some computational properties of open sets

Dag Normann, Sam Sanders

Open sets are central to mathematics, especially analysis and topology, in ways few notions are. In most, if not all, computational approaches to mathematics, open sets are only st…

The Biggest Five of Reverse Mathematics

Dag Normann, Sam Sanders

The aim of Reverse Mathematics(RM for short)is to find the minimal axioms needed to prove a given theorem of ordinary mathematics. These minimal axioms are almost always equivalent…
