THIS POSTING IS SELF CONTAINED

This posting corrects the postings in the Large Cardinals and
Continuations series, and also presents, for the first time,
explicitly Pi01 sentences corresponding to HUGE.

***IMPLICITLY AND EXPLICITLY Pi01 FOR SRP***
in the rationals

This is sections 1 and 2 of
http://www.cs.nyu.edu/pipermail/fom/2016-June/019886.html

*no change here*

***IMPLICITLY Pi01 FOR HUGE***

Here we make a small change in the definition of smoothly maximal
r-continuation and smoothly(<=) maximal r-continuation.

DEFINITION 1. A Q,k system is a pair (A,R), where A containedin Q and R
containedin A^k. A negative Q,k system is a Q,k system with its domain
A containedin Q|<0.
We say that (A,R) is a part of (B,S) if and only if A containedin B and R
containedin S. The cardinality of a Q,k system is the cardinality of its
domain. Isomorphisms from (A,R) onto (B,S)  are order preserving
bijections h:A into B that send R onto S.

DEFINITION 2. (B,S) is an r-continuation of the Q,k system (A,R) if and
only if (A,R) is a part of the Q,k system (B,S), 0 in B, and every part
of (B,S) of cardinality r is isomorphic to some part of (A,R). If r =
2 then we omit r.

DEFINITION 3. (B,S) is a smoothly maximal r-continuation of the
Q,k system (A,R) if and only if (B,S) is an r-continuation of (A,R),
where no (B|<=max(x),S|<max(x) U. {x}), max(x) >= 0, is an
r-continuation of (A,R).

DEFINITION 4. Let (A,R) be a Q,k system. A self embedding h of (A,R) is
a one-one h:Q into Q such that for all p_1,...,p_k in A,
R(p_1,...,p_k) if and only if R(h(p_1),...,h(p_k)).

SMOOTHLY EMBEDDED MAXIMAL CONTINUATIONS. SEMC. For finite negative Q,k
systems, some smoothly maximal continuation is self embedded by the
function p if p < 0; p+1 otherwise.

We now present a weakened form of smoothly maximal r-continuations.

DEFINITION 5. (B,S) is a smoothly/<= maximal r-continuation of (A,R)
if and only if (B,S) is an r-continuation of (A,R), where no
(B|<=max(x),S|<max(x) U. {x}), max(x) >= 0, x increasing, is an
r-continuation of
(A,R). Here x in Q^k is increasing if and only if x_1 <= ... <= x_k.

DEFINITION 6. Let x in Q^k. x is positive if and only if min(x) > 0. x
is increasing if and only if x_1 <= ... <= x_k. E containedin Q^k is
positive if and only if all elements of E are positive. The sections
of Q,k systems (A,R) are the sets of one lower dimension obtained from R
by fixing one or more arguments from A in any positions.

SMOOTHLY/<= EMBEDDED MAXIMAL CONTINUATIONS (<=). SEMC(<=). For finite
negative Q,k systems, the positive tuples and bounded positive
sections of some smoothly/<= maximal continuation are closed under +1.

THEOREM 1. SEMC is equivalent to Con(SRP) over WKL_0. SEMC(<=) is equivalent to
Con(HUGE) over WKL_0.

***EXPLICITLY Pi01 FOR HUGE***
this is new

We now give a finite form of SEMC(<=) using number theoretic heights
as we did when we presented the explicitly Pi01 sentences
corresponding to SRP.

DEFINITION 7. We use hgt(A) for the height of A containedin Q^k. For R
containedin Q^k, R[p] is the section resulting from fixing all but the
last coordinate to be p.

DEFINITION 8. (B,S) is a smoothly/<= rich r-continuation of (A,R)
if and only if (B,S) is an r-continuation of (A,R), where no
(B|<=max(x),S|<max(x) U. {x}), max(x) >= 0, x increasing, hgt(x) <=
hgt(A), is an r-continuation of (A,R).

Note that we have merely inserted the height inequality.

FINITE SMOOTHLY/<= EMBEDDED MAXIMAL CONTINUATIONS. FSEMC(<=). Each
finite negative Q,k system (A1,R1) starts k successive finite
smoothly/<= rich continuations, (A1,R1),(A2,R2),...,(Ak,Rk), where for
all i,j < k, Ri + 1 containedin Ri+1, and Ri[j+.5] = Ai  + 1|<=j.

FSEMC(<=) is explicitly Pi02. An obvious bound can be placed on the
height of Ak, putting it in explicitly Pi01 form.

THEOREM 2. FSEMC(<=) is provably equivalent to Con(HUGE) over EFA.

***Pi01 FOR THE MAHLO HIERARCHY***
In the nonnegative integers

DEFINITION 1. Let A,B containedin N. We say that A,B are k-isomorphic
if and only if A,B are of the same (possibly infinite) cardinality,
and for any signed sum of at most k elements of A, the corresponding
signed sum from elements of B (under the unique order preserving
bijection from A onto B) has the same sign - positive, negative, or 0.

DEFINITION 2. Let A containedin N. B is a k-continuation of A if and
only if A containedin B containedin N, and A,B have the same k element
subsets up to isomorphism. B is a maximal k-continuation of A if and
only if B is a k-continuation of A, where no B U. {n}  is a
k-continuation of A.

Here U. indicates disjoint union.

THEOREM 1. Every A contianedin N has a unique maximal k-continuation.

We now use a weaker form of maximal k-continuation. .

DEFINITION 3. Let X containedin N. A proper k sum from X is an
unsigned sum of k elements of X greater than all of its summands.

DEFINITION 4. B is a +,X optimal k-continuation of A if and only if B
is a k-continuation of A, where no B U. {n}|<=n U A, n > k, is a
k-continuation of A, n a proper k sum from A U X.

OPTIMAL CONTINUATIONS IN N. OC(N). Every finite subset of [k] has r
successive +,N! maximal k-continuations omitting almost all of N!.

FINITE OPTIMAL CONTINUATIONS IN N . FOC(N). Every finite subset of [k]
has two successive finite +,[n]! maximal k-continuations omitting (8k)!!.

Here [n] = {0,...,n}.

Note that FOC(N) is explicitly Pi02. Using an obvious upper bound, it
becomes explicitly Pi01.

THEOREM 2. OC(N) is provably equivalent to Con(MAH) over RCA_0. FOC(N)
is provably equivalent to Con(MAH) over EFA.
