Minimum models of second-order set theories

Abstract: In this article I investigate the phenomenon of minimum models of second-order set theories, focusing on Kelley--Morse set theory mathsfKM, G"odel--Bernays set theory mathsfGB, and mathsfGB augmented with the principle of Elementary Transfinite Recursion. The main results are the following. (1) A countable model of mathsfZFC has a minimum mathsfGBC-realization if and only if it admits a parametrically definable global well-order. (2) Countable models of mathsfGBC admit minimal extensions with the same sets. (3) There is no minimum transitive model of mathsfKM. (4) There is a minimum -model of mathsfGB+mathsfETR. The main question left unanswered by this article is whether there is a minimum transitive model of mathsfGB+mathsfETR.
