A model of second-order arithmetic satisfying AC but not DC

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We show that there is a -model of second-order arithmetic in which the choice scheme holds, but the dependent choice scheme fails for a Pi21-assertion, confirming a conjecture of Stephen Simpson. We obtain as a corollary that the Reflection Principle, stating that every formula reflects to a transitive set, can fail in models of mZFC−. This work is a rediscovery by the first two authors of a result obtained by the third author.
