....it here. Then, using this fact, one shows that one can embed this partial ordering into the degree structure in such a way that it is definable with four parameters by a formula OE(x; y; a; b; c; l) This shows the undecidability of the structure in question, by the classical method of Tarski, [13]. We therefore merely show, using ideas due to Slaman and Woodin, that any computable partial order on can be embedded into RQ via a countable antichain. The following result is the key lemma for the method. Theorem 8 (Coding Lemma) Let P = h ; i be a computable partial order. There exist ....

....We thank Rosalie Iemhoff for her careful reading of the penultimate draft. The next subsection is a brief introduction to interpretations. 1. 1 What is an Interpretation The interpretations we are interested in are relative interpretations in the sense of Tarski, Mostwoski and Robinson (see [22]) Consider theories U with language LU and T with language L T . For the momentwe assume that LU is a relational language. An interpretation K of U in T is given by a pair hffi(x)#Fi. Here ffi(x) is an L T formula representing the domain of the interpretation. 1 F is a mapping that associates ....

....as T 1 , if T 1 is interpretable in T 2 . Also, standard interpretations have long been used in logic to prove metamathematical properties about rst order theories, mainly relative consistency, decidability, and undecidability. For example, the classic work of Tarski, Mostowski, and Robinson [32] illustrates how the undecidability of T 1 can be reduced to the undecidability of T 2 by constructing an appropriate standard interpretation of T 2 in T 1 . For other references on the theory and use of standard interpretations, see [13, 23, 30, 31, 34] 3 Some Simple Examples This section ....

....theories approach, including its use of theory interpretations. On the contrary, the logic of theory interpretations is well understood, and a version for the particular logic we use is available in [8] Interpretations have been e ectively used in the logical literature since at least the 1950 s [27], and in mathematics for much longer. Indeed, this makes interpretations especially attractive to us. Our overall goal in imps is to mechanize traditional tools of classical mathematical reasoning, partly because they are understood by a wide range of potential users, and partly because their ....

....es one of the (possibly many) ways of embedding T in T 0 , while preserving theorems. Logicians have used theory interpretations to prove metamathematical properties about theories, particularly consistency, decidability, and undecidability. The classic work of Tarski, Mostowski, and Robinson [27], for example, illustrates how theories can be proved undecidable by means of theory interpretation. References on theory interpretations include [23, 26, 28, 29] 3 Pronounced as the word in French. 6 2.1 Theory Interpretations in IMPS The notion of a theory interpretation in lutins is ....

....built in equivalence relations, but no conditions on other predicates) To prove that the FO 2 theory of K is strongly undecidable it suffices to present an FO 2 interpretation of some rich class of local grids in K. The original notion of a (first order) interpretation is due to Tarski [36]. Today, in model theory, interpretations come in many different shapes and sizes (see e.g. 20, Chapter 5] We use here a specific variant tailored for our particular class of applications. The FO 2 interpretations that we need are given by sequences I = hffi(x) x; y) h (x; y) v (x; ....

....interpretability is important because of the following theorem. Let Q be Robinson s Arithmetic. Theorem 2.2 (Tarski) If Q is weakly interpretable in T , i.e. if rel R;T Q is consistent, then T is undecidable. Tarski uses the theorem in his proof of the undecidability of Group Theory. See [29]. Note that it follows that for decidable theories, like the theory of Abelean Groups, we have: rel R;T :Q. For results concerning the L;T for classical theories T , the reader is referred to Vladimir Rybakov s book [26] and to Rotislav Yavorsky s paper [44] See also appendix A of the ....

....is particularly suitable for the purpose, and much of the necessary definitional work has been done in preceding sections. To show the undecidability of RCC, it is sufficient to show that addition and multiplication of the positive integers can be encoded within some model of the RCC axiom set (Tarski, Mostowski and Robinson 1953). Take u to be the sphere S 2 , and regions (as in the rest of this report) to be nonempty, regular, closed subspaces of it, with a finite number of MAX Ps. We define a metalinguistic predicate of a region (the SCON count ) a non negative integer corresponding to the number of its MAX Ps which ....

....have to make sure that a certain relation on the universe is Noetherian. This is an inherent property of the model, since the well foundedness of a relation is not expressible in first order logic. Several other methods for proving undecidability of theories have been proposed in the literature. Tarski (1953) shows that a theory T is undecidable if some essentially undecidable and finitely axiomatizable theory T 0 (for instance the theory Q (Tarski et al. 1953a) is relatively weakly interpretable in T . In order to show relative weak interpretability of T 0 in T one has to find first order ....

....fails to commute with . Rather than pursuing the problem of finding a reasonably general notion of interpretation satisfying certain intuitive constraints, we will study one given notion of interpretation: relative interpretability. This notion is due to Tarski, Mostowski and Robinson. See [47]. Roughly we demand that our interpretations commute with all the propositional connectives (including the all important ) and with the quantifiers modulo relativization to a domain. Moreover, we restrict ourselves to theories in classical Predicate Logic. This choice means a restriction on the ....

Usually, in order for the substitution to operate soundly, each shorter form is shown ....
