An Infinitude of Finitudes
Definitions of finiteness are set-theoretical properties P such that, if the axiom of choice (AC) is assumed, a set satisfies P if and only if it is finite. It is well known that the equivalence of many definitions of finiteness (to one another, and to “ordinary” finiteness, defined below) requires some (perhaps weaker) form of AC. Thus, it is of interest to study how various definitions of fin...
متن کاملResolving the Infinitude Controversy
A simple inductive argument shows natural languages to have infinitly many sentences, but workers in the field have uncovered clear evidence of a diverse group of ‘exceptional’ languages from Proto-Uralic to Dyirbal and most recently, Pirahã, that appear to lack recursive devices entirely. We argue that in an information-theoretic setting non-recursive natural languages appear neither exception...
متن کاملInfinitude of Elliptic Carmichael Numbers
In 1987, Gordon gave an integer primality condition similar to the familiar test based on Fermat’s little theorem, but based instead on the arithmetic of elliptic curves with complex multiplication. We prove the existence of infinitely many composite numbers simultaneously passing all elliptic curve primality tests assuming a weak form of a standard conjecture on the bound on the least prime in...
متن کاملRecursion and the infinitude claim∗
(2) This property of discrete infinity characterizes EVERY human language; none consists of a finite set of sentences. The unchanged central goal of linguistic theory over the last fifty years has been and remains to give a precise, formal characterization of this property and then to explain how humans develop (or grow) and use discretely infinite linguistic systems. (Epstein and Hornstein 200...
