On a Question of Jaegers

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: We show that there exists a positive arithmetical formula psi(x,R), where xinomega, Rsubseteqomega, with no hyperarithmetical fixed point. This answers a question of Gerhard J"{a}ger. As corollaries we obtain results on the proof-theoretic strength of the Kripke-Platek set theory; the fixed points of monotone functions in chain-complete partial orders; the non-Borel uniformization of Borel sets; and the hyperdegrees of fixed points of positive formulae. Further we prove a Suslin-Kleene type result for the specific encoding of the hyperarithmetical sets that we are using.
