Completeness of global intuitionistic set theory

From MaRDI portal





The author gives a complete theory for the class of all sheaf models, i.e. of all those cumulative set theoretic universes which are constructed like the Boolean-valued models, however with a complete Heyting algebra as value structure. The basic logic for this theory is intuitionistic logic enriched however with a unary ``globalization operator, characterized by a truth value function which maps the universal upper bound of the truth value structure to itself, and all other elements to the universal lower bound. The main problem then is to introduce in this extended language for intuitionistic logic a suitable implication connective, and suitable membership and identity predicates, to get suitable variants of (ZF-like) set-theoretic axioms. The essential proof system is a version of Gentzen's sequent calculus LJ.
