I thought 239 was the last for quite a while, but I need to take care of two
matters.
1. There is a typo in Propositions 3-6. Some k's should be 2k. It is also
worthwhile to give the convenient bound on A (in fact on A U. T<[A^k]) in
the statement.
2. The very strong statement in #239 does not quite seem to yield ranks into
themselves, but do seem to yield n-huges. I have added the needed extra
punch.
I *think* that this round has settled down.
These developments in no way, shape, or form obsolete BRT.
##########################################
Let N be the set of all nonnegative integers. Let T:N^k into N, and V
containedin N^k. We define the upper image of T on V by
T<[V] = {T(x): x in V and T(x) > max(x)}.
We use U. for disjoint union. Thus A U. B is A U B if A,B are disjoint;
undefined otherwise.
THEOREM 1. For all T:N^k into N, some A U. T<[A^k] = N. In fact, A is
unique.
Theorem 1 has the following finite form.
THEOREM 2. For all T:[p]^k into N, some A U. T<[A^k] = [rng(T)]. In fact, A
is unique.
We will use two classes of functions.
We write PL([p]^k,E) for the set of all piecewise linear transformations
T:[p]^k into N over E. These are the T:[p]^k into N defined by finitely many
cases, where each case is given by a finite set of linear inequalities, and
T is given by an affine expression with coefficients in each case, and where
all coefficients used in the inequalities and affine expressions lie in E.
We write RL([p]^k,E) for the set of all restricted linear transformations
T:[p]^k into N over E. These are the partial T:[p]^k into N defined by a
linear transformation restricted to a semilinear set, where all coefficients
used in the semilinear set and the linear expression lie in E. Here a
semilinear set is given by a Boolean combination of linear inequalities).
We take min(emptyset) = 0. For vectors y in N^k, we define y! =
(y_1!,...,y_k!).
PROPOSITION 3. For all T in PL([p]^2k,[k]), some A U. T<[A^2k] containedin
[rng(T)] contains all min(T[A^k x {y!}]) and omits (8k)!!-1.
PROPOSITION 4. For all T in RL([p]^2k,[k]), some A U. T<[A^2k] containedin
[rng(T)] contains all min(T[A^k x {y!}]) and omits (8k)!!-1.
Propositions 3,4 are obviously explicitly Pi01 since we need only consider
vectors y! from [p(p+1)]^k. (We need an empty T[A^k x {y!}] in order to
guarantee some min(T[A^k x {y!}]) is 0).
As things stabilize, we will sharpen the (8k)!!.
THEOREM 5. Theorem 1 is provable in RCA0 and Theorem 2 is provable in EFA.
Propositions 3,4 are each provably equivalent, over ACA, to the consistency
of MAH = ZFC + {there exists an n-Mahlo cardinal}_n. If we remove
"omits (8k)!!-1", then they become immediate consequences of Theorem 2, and
hence provable in EFA.
If we set p to be certain simple functions of k, rather than arbitrary, then
we can control the strength of Proposition 3 somewhat. We should be able
to get PA and n-th order arithmetic, for various n, as well as significant
fragments of ZFC, ZFC itself, and levels of the Mahlo hierarchy.
We now present much stronger Pi01 statements.
Let R1,...,Rt,S1,...,St be multivariate relations on N, where the arity of
each Ri,Si are the same. Let A,B,D containedin N. We say that
f nontrivially embeds (A,R1,...,Rt) into (B,S1,...,St) over D
if and only if
i) f is a one-one partial function from A into B;
ii) for all x1,...,xn in dom(f), Ri(x1,...,xn) iff Si(f(x1),...,f(xn)),
where the arity of Ri is n;
iii) f is defined at all elements of D.
For A containedin N^k, let d(A) = {n: (n,...,n) in A}.
PROPOSITION 6. For all T in PL([p]^6k,[k]) there exists A containedin [p]^3
such that each A_i! embeds ([i!],T,A,T[A^2k],T<[A^2k]) into
([i!]\{(8k)!!},T,A,T[A^2k],d(A)') over the min(T[A^k x {y!}]) < i! < p.
Proposition 6 is obviously explicitly Pi01.
THEOREM 7. Proposition 6 is provably equivalent, over EFA, to the
consistency of ZFC + {there exists an n-Mahlo cardinal lambda such that
there are lambda many kappa < lambda with a nontrivial elementary embedding
from V(kappa) into V(kappa), all with the same critical point}_n.
