Transfinite recursion in higher reverse mathematics

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: In this paper we investigate the reverse mathematics of higher-order analogues of the theory ATRz{} within the framework of higher order reverse mathematics developed by Kohlenbach cite{Koh01}. We define a theory RCAzthr, a close higher-type analogue of the classical base theory RCAz, and show that it is essentially a conservative subtheory of Kohlenbach's base theory RCAzo. Working over RCAzthr, we study higher-type analogues of statements classically equivalent to ATRz, including open and clopen determinacy, as well as two choice principles, and prove several equivalences and separations. Our main result is the separation of open and clopen determinacy for reals, using a variant of Steel forcing; in the presentation of this result, we develop a new, more flexible framework for Steel-type forcing.
