Intuitionistic nonstandard bounded modified realisability and functional interpretation

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We present a bounded modified realisability and a bounded functional interpretation of intuitionistic nonstandard arithmetic with nonstandard principles. The functional interpretation is the intuitionistic counterpart of Ferreira and Gaspar's functional interpretation and has similarities with Van den Berg, Briseid and Safarik's functional interpretation but replacing finiteness by majorisability. We give a threefold contribution: constructive content and proof-theoretical properties of nonstandard arithmetic; filling a gap in the literature; being in line with nonstandard methods to analyse compactness arguments.


\textit{F. Ferreira} and \textit{P. Oliva} [Ann. Pure Appl. Logic 135, No. 1--3, 73--112 (2005; Zbl 1095.03060)] introduced bounded functional interpretation for formulae of arithmetic in all finite types with equality only for the objects of type 0 with special treatment of existential statements: it does not provide precise witnesses but only bounds for the witnesses in the sense of Howard-Bezem strong majorizability. The same idea is used in bounded realizability introduced by \textit{F. Ferreira} and \textit{A. Nunes} [J. Symb. Log. 71, No. 1, 329--346 (2006; Zbl 1100.03050)]. Intuitionistic nonstandard arithmetic $\mathsf{E}\text{-}\mathsf{HA}^\omega_{\text{st}}$ was introduced by \textit{B. van den Berg} et al. [Ann. Pure Appl. Logic 163, No. 12, 1962--1994 (2012; Zbl 1270.03121)]. It is an extension of intuitionistic arithmetic in all finite types by adding the predicate $\mathrm{st}$ and appropriate standardness axioms. The same authors defined variants of realizability and functional intepretation similar to the bounded ones, where a bound is replaced by a finite set containing a witness. In the paper under review, bounded functional interpretation and bounded realizability are transferred to $\mathsf{E}\text{-}\mathsf{HA}^\omega_{\mathrm{st}}$ formulae and are used for proving various equiconsistency, conservativity, and independence results.
