Number Theory and Elementary Arithmetic
نویسنده
چکیده
Elementary arithmetic (also known as “elementary function arithmetic”) is a fragment of first-order arithmetic so weak that it cannot prove the totality of an iterated exponential function. Surprisingly, however, the theory turns out to be remarkably robust. I will discuss formal results that show that many theorems of number theory and combinatorics are derivable in elementary arithmetic, and try to place these results in a broader philosophical context.

We study the history and recent developments in nonelementarymodel theory focusing on the framework of abstractelementary classes. We discuss the role of syntax and semanticsand the motivation to generalize first order model theory to nonelementaryframeworks and illuminate the study with concrete examplesof classes of models. This second part continues to study the question of catecoricitytrans...
متن کاملArithmetic Teichmuller Theory
By Grothedieck's Anabelian conjectures, Galois representations landing in outer automorphism group of the algebraic fundamental group which are associated to hyperbolic smooth curves defined over number fields encode all arithmetic information of these curves. The goal of this paper is to develope and arithmetic teichmuller theory, by which we mean, introducing arithmetic objects summarizing th...
متن کاملArithmetic Deformation Theory of Lie Algebras
This paper is devoted to deformation theory of graded Lie algebras over Z or Zl with finite dimensional graded pieces. Such deformation problems naturally appear in number theory. In the first part of the paper, we use Schlessinger criteria for functors on Artinian local rings in order to obtain universal deformation rings for deformations of graded Lie algebras and their graded representations...
متن کاملDefinability and Decision Problems in Arithmetic
Introduction. In this paper, we are concerned with the arithmetical definability of certain notions of integers and rationals in terms of other notions. The results derived will be applied to obtain a negative solution of corresponding decision problems. In Section 1, we show that addition of positive integers can be defined arithmetically in terms of multiplication and the unary operation of s...
متن کاملStudy of Finite Field over Elliptic Curve: Arithmetic Means
Public key cryptography systems are based on sound mathematical foundations that are designed to make the problem hard for an intruder to break into the system. Number theory and algebraic geometry, namely the theory of elliptic curves defined over finite fields, has found applications in cryptology. The basic reason for this is that elliptic curves over finite fields provide an inexhaustible s...
