2.4. Invariant A...A Theory

DEFINITION 2.4.1. POW(X) is the set of all subsets of X. An A...A[<,k]
is a sentence starting with one or more universal quantifiers,
followed by a propositional combination of atomic formulas v < w and
S(v_1,...,v_k), where v,w,v_1,...,v_k are variables.

DEFINITION 2.4.2. An A...A subset of POW(Q[-n,n]^k) is a K containedin
POW(Q[-n,n]^k) of the form K = {S containedin Q[-n,n]^k: (Q[-n,n],<,S)
satisfies phi}, where phi is an A...A sentence in <,S. A point maximal
element of W containedin POW(Q[-n,n]^k is an S in W where there is no
S U. {x} in W. We also make the same definition with Q[-n,n]^k
replaced by Q^k.

IMA...A/1. Invariant Maximal A...A/1. (bad). Every nonempty A...A
subset of POW(Q[-n,n]^k) has a completely N Tail Shift invariant point maximal
element.

IMA...A/2. Invariant Maximal A...A/2. Every nonempty A...A subset of
POW(Q^k) has a completely N Tail Shift invariant point maximal element.

IMA...A/3. Invariant Maximal A...A/3. Every nonempty A...A subset of
POW(Q^k) has an N Tail-Related invariant point maximal element.

THEOREM 2.4.1.1. There is a decision procedure, demonstrably correct
in RCA_0, for determining whether an A...A subset of POW(Q[-n,n]^k) is
nonempty (depending only on k). The same holds with Q[-n,n]^k replaced
by Q^k. IMA...A/2, IMA...A/3 are implicitly Pi01 using the Goedel
Completeness Theorem.

THEOREM 2.4.1.2. IMA...A/1 is refutable in RCA_0. IMA...A/2, IMA...A3
are provable in WKL_0 + Con(SRP).

We do not know if IMA...A/2, IMA...A/3 are provable in ZFC, ACA_0, or
even RCA_0.

We can fix IMA...A/1 by restricting the A...A sentences, to good effect.

DEFINITION 2.4.3. A positive A...A subset of POW(Q[-n,n]^k) is a K
containedin POW(Q[-n,n]^k) of the form
K = {S containedin Q[-n,n]^k: (Q[-n,n],<,S) satisfies phi}, where phi
is an A...A sentence in <,S using only disjunctions and conjunctions
(no negations, implications, equivalences). We also make the same
definition with Q[-n,n]^k replaced by Q^k.

IMPA...A/1. Invariant Maximal Positive A...A/2. Every nonempty
positive A...A subset of POW(Q[-n,n]^k) has a completely N Tail Shift
invariant maximal element.

IMPA...A/2. Invariant Maximal Positive A...A/3. Every nonempty
positive A...A subset of POW(Q[-n,n]^k) has an N Tail-Related
invariant maximal element.

THEOREM 2.4.1.3. IMPA...A/1, IMPA...A/2 are implicitly Pi01 using the
Goedel Completeness Theorem. IMPA...A/1, IMPA...A/1 are provably
equivalent to Con(SRP) over WKL_0. The forward implication is provable
in RCA_0.

Note that the set of r-emulators of any finite subset of Q[-n,n]^k (or
Q^k) and the set of cliques of any order invariant r-graph on Q[-n,n]
(or Q^k) positive A...A sets. So IMPA...A/1, IMPA...A/2 immediately
imply IMMA/1, IMME/2, respectively. These in turn imply Con(SRP) and
therefore IMPA...A/1, IMPA...A/2 do.

All of the material concerning IMMA/1,2 usability, from section 2.3,
carry over without change.
