[FOM] 242:4th Pi01 Update

1. We prefer to give forms without bounds that are easily equivalent to
forms with bounds. We prefer to give the forms with bounds separately, and
use the bound [2pk^2] on A. This is a presentation issue only.
2. There is nothing wrong with the symmetric difference versions. We put
them back.
3. We have modified the very strong statement, as we grasp what is really
needed to get lots of ranks into themselves.
 
I *think* that this round has settled down.

These developments in no way, shape, or form obsolete BRT.

PS: At this point, I move to finish the largely completed BRT book for
submission. The BRT book is not expected to include this Pi01 material, but
the final version of the book will include a summary of the state of the art
in Pi01. 

##########################################

Let N be the set of all nonnegative integers. For k >= 1, N^k is the set of
all k-tuples from N.

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.

For n in N, we write [n] = {0,...,n}.

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] = [max(rng(T))]. In
fact, A is unique and nonmepty.. Furthermore, we can use any integer >=
max(rng(T)).

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).

For vectors y in N^k, we define y! = (y_1!,...,y_k!). We take min(emptyset)
= 0.

PROPOSITION 3. For all T in PL([p]^2k,[k]), some A U. T<[A^2k] 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] contains all
min(T[A^k x {y!}]) and omits (8k)!!-1.

PROPOSITION 5. For all T in PL([p]^2k,[k]), some A delta T<[A^2k] contains
all min(T[A^k x {y!}]) and omits (8k)!!-1.

PROPOSITION 6. For all T in RL([p]^2k,[k]), some A delta T<[A^2k] contains
all min(T[A^k x {y!}]) and omits (8k)!!-1.

It is clear that we need only consider A containedin [2pk^2] and y in
[p+1]^k, in Propositions 3-6. So at the cost of cluttering up the
statements, we can write them in explicitly Pi01 form as follows.

PROPOSITION 3'. For all k,p >= 1 and T in PL([p]^2k,[k]), some A U.
T<[A^2k], A containedin [2pk^2], contains all min(T[A^k x {y!}]), y in
[p+1]^k, and omits (8k)!!-1.

PROPOSITION 4'. For all k,p >= 1 and T in RL([p]^2k,[k]), some A U.
T<[A^2k], A containedin [2pk^2], contains all min(T[A^k x {y!}]), y in
[p+1]^k, and omits (8k)!!-1.

PROPOSITION 5'. For all k,p >= 1 and T in PL([p]^2k,[k]), some A delta
T<[A^2k], A containedin [2pk^2], contains all min(T[A^k x {y!}]), y in
[p+1]^k, and omits (8k)!!-1.

PROPOSITION 6'. For all k,p >= 1 and T in RL([p]^2k,[k]), some A delta
T<[A^2k], A containedin [2pk^2], contains all min(T[A^k x {y!}]), y in
[p+1]^k, and omits (8k)!!-1.

As things stabilize, we will sharpen the (8k)!!.

THEOREM 7. Theorem 1 is provable in RCA0 and Theorem 2 is provable in EFA.
Propositions 3-6 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 Propositions 3-6 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 each Ri,Si are
of the same arity. Let A,B,V containedin N. We say that

f embeds (A,R1,...,Rt) into (B,S1,...,St) over D if and only if

i) f is a one-one function, where f[A] containedin B;
ii) for all x1,...,xn in dom(M) intersect V, Ri(x1,...,xn) iff
Si(f(x1),...,f(xn)), where the arity of Ri,Si is n.

For B containedin N^k and n in N, we write B|<n for the set of all elements
of B all of whose coordinates are < n.

For y in N^k, we write y! = (y1!,...,yk!).

PROPOSITION 8. For all T in PL([p]^6k,[k]) there exists A containedin [p]^3
such that for all i! < p, A_i! embeds ([i!],T,T[A^2k],T<[A^2k]) into
([i!]\{(8k)!!},T,T[A^2k|<i!],A_00') over the min(T[A^k x {y!}]).

Proposition 8 is obviously explicitly Pi01.

THEOREM 9. Proposition 8 is provable in VBC + "there exists a nontrivial
elementary embedding from V into some transitive class M such that V(lambda)
in M, where lambda is the first fixed point above the critical point", but
not in ZFC + "there is a proper class of cardinals kappa such that there is
a nontrivial elementary embedding of V(kappa) into V(kappa)". Proposition 8
proves the consistency of this latter system.
