Models of weak theories of truth

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: In the following paper we propose a model-theoretical way of comparing the "strength" of various truth theories which are conservative over PA. Let mathfrakTh denote the class of models of PA which admit an expansion to a model of theory Th. We show (combining some well known results and original ideas) that mathfrak{PA}supset mathfrak{TB}supset mathfrak{RS}supset mathfrak{UTB}supseteqmathfrak{CT^-}, where mathfrakPA denotes simply the class of all models of PA and mathfrakRS denotes the class of recursively saturated models of PA. Our main original result is that every model of PA which admits an expansion to a model of CT, admits also an expanion to a model of UTB. Moreover, as a corollary to one of the results we conclude that UTB is not relatively interpretable in TB, thus answering the question of Fujimoto.
