Proof Theory for Theories of Ordinals III: \(\Pi _{N}\) -Reflection

  • Chapter
Gentzen's Centenary

Abstract

This paper deals with a proof theory for a theory T N of \(\Pi _{N}\)-reflecting ordinals using a system \(\mathit{Od}(\Pi _{N})\) of ordinal diagrams. This is a sequel to the previous one (Arai, Ann Pure Appl Log 129:39–92, 2004) in which a theory for \(\Pi _{3}\)-reflecting ordinals is analysed proof-theoretically.

Notes

  1. 1.

    For simplicity we suppress the parameter. Correctly \(\forall u(A(u)\, \rightarrow \,\exists z(u < z\,\&\,A^{z}(u)))\).
