MUTUAL INTERPRETABILITY OF WEAK ESSENTIALLY UNDECIDABLE THEORIES
- Computer ScienceThe Journal of Symbolic Logic
- 2022
It is proved that T is interpretable in Q by producing a formal interpretation of T in an elementary concatenation theory QT+, thereby also establishing mutual interpretability of T with several well-known weak essentially undecidable theories of numbers, strings, and sets.
Undecidability in First-Order Theories of Term Algebras Extended with a Substitution Operator

We introduce a first-order theory of finite full binary trees and then identify decidable and undecidable fragments of this theory. We show that the analogue of Hilbert‘s 10th Problem is undecidable…

It is proved that the theory of concatenation WTC-ε, which is a weak subtheory of Grzegorczyk’s theory, is a minimal essentially undecidable theory, and that if one omits an axiom scheme from the theory, then the resulting theory is no longer essentially Undecidable.

There is no theory with a minimal degree of Turing reducibility for which $\textsf {G1}$ holds, but it is shown that there are many such theories based on Jeřábek’s work using some model theory such that for any Turing degree, there is a theory T with Turing degree such that G1 holds.

There exists a theory T in which all partially recursive functions are representable, yet T does not interpret Robinson's theory R, and a certain characterization of $\exists\forall$ theories interpretable in existential theories in the process is obtained.
