Choice principles in constructive and classical set theories
نویسنده
چکیده
The objective of this paper is to assay several forms of the axiom of choice that have been deemed constructive. In addition to their deductive relationships, the paper will be concerned with metamathematical properties effected by these choice principles and also with some of their classical models.

Semantic Completeness of First-Order Theories in Constructive Reverse Mathematics
We introduce a general notion of semantic structure for first-order theories, covering a variety of constructions such as Tarski and Kripke semantics, and prove that, over Zermelo Fraenkel set theory (ZF), the completeness of such semantics is equivalent to the Boolean Prime Ideal theorem (BPI). In particular, we deduce that the completeness of that type of semantics for non-classical theories ...
متن کاملSome Axioms for Constructive Analysis Joan Rand Moschovakis and Garyfallia Vafeiadou
This note explores the common core of constructive, intuitionistic, recursive and classical analysis from an axiomatic standpoint. In addition to clarifying the relation between Kleene’s and Troelstra’s minimal formal theories of numbers and number-theoretic sequences, we propose some modified choice principles and other function existence axioms which may be of use in reverse constructive anal...
متن کاملThe axiom of choice and the law of excluded middle in weak set theories
In constructive mathematics the axiom of choice (AC) has a somewhat ambiguous status. On the one hand, in intuitionistic set theory, or the local set theory associated with a topos ([2]) it can be shown to entail the law of excluded middle (LEM) ([ 3 ], [ 5 ]). On the other hand, under the “propositions-as types” interpretation which lies at the heart of constructive predicative type theories s...
متن کاملThe Relation Reflection Scheme
In this paper we introduce a new axiom scheme, the Relation Reflection Scheme (RRS), for constructive set theory. Constructive set theory is an extensional set theoretical setting for constructive mathematics. A formal system for constructive set theory was first introduced by Myhill in [8]. In [1, 2, 3] I introduced a formal system CZF that is closely related to Myhill’s formal system and gave...
متن کاملMetamathematical Properties of Intuitionistic Set Theories with Choice Principles
This paper is concerned with metamathematical properties of intuitionistic set theories with choice principles. It is proved that the disjunction property, the numerical existence property, Church’s rule, and several other metamathematical properties hold true for Constructive Zermelo-Fraenkel Set Theory and full Intuitionistic Zermelo-Fraenkel augmented by any combination of the principles of ...
