For a cardinal $mathfrak{a}$, let $mathrm{fin}(mathfrak{a})$ be the cardinality of the set of all finite subsets of a set which is of cardinality $mathfrak{a}$. It is proved without the aid of the axiom of choice that for all infinite cardinals $mathfrak{a}$ and all natural numbers $n$, [ 2^{mathrm{fin}(mathfrak{a})^n}=2^{[mathrm{fin}(mathfrak{a})]^n}. ] On the other hand, it is proved that the following statement is consistent with $mathsf{ZF}$: there exists an infinite cardinal $mathfrak{a}$ such that [ 2^{mathrm{fin}(mathfrak{a})}<2^{mathrm{fin}(mathfrak{a})^2}<2^{mathrm{fin}(mathfrak{a})^3}

We give a short proof of the Marker-Steinhorn theorem for ominimal expansions of ordered groups. The key tool is Ramakrishnan’s classification of definable linear orders in such structures.

We study the degree structure of the ω-c.e., n-c.e. and Π1 equivalence relations under the computable many-one reducibility. In particular we investigate for each of these classes of degrees the most basic questions about the structure of the partial order. We prove the existence of the greatest element for the ω-c.e. and n-c.e. equivalence relations. We provide computable enumerations of the degrees of ω-c.e., n-c.e. and Π1 equivalence relations. We prove that for all the degree classes considered, upward density holds and downward density fails.

Working under large cardinal assumptions, we study the Borel-reducibility between equivalence relations modulo restrictions of the non-stationary ideal on some fixed cardinal kappa. We show the consistency of E^{lambda^{++},lambda^{++}}_{lambdatext{-club}}, the relation of equivalence modulo the non-stationary ideal restricted to S^{lambda^{++}}_lambda in the space (lambda^{++})^{lambda^{++}}, being continuously reducible to E^{2,lambda^{++}}_{lambda^+text{-club}}, the relation of equivalence modulo the non-stationary ideal restricted to S^{lambda^{++}}_{lambda^+} in the space 2^{lambda^{++}}. Then we show that for kappa ineffable E^{2, kappa}_{text{reg}}, the relation of equivalence modulo the non-stationary ideal restricted to regular cardinals in the space 2^{kappa}, is Sigma^1_1-complete. We finish by showing, for Pi_2^1-indescribable kappa, that the isomorphism relation between dense linear orders of cardinality kappa is Sigma^1_1-complete.

The representation of mathematical objects in terms of (more) basic ones is part and parcel of (the foundations of) mathematics. In the usual foundations of mathematics, i.e. $textsf{ZFC}$ set theory, all mathematical objects are represented by sets, while ordinary, i.e. non-set theoretic, mathematics is represented in the more parsimonious language of second-order arithmetic. This paper deals with the latter representation for the rather basic case of continuous functions on the reals and Baire space. We show that the logical strength of basic theorems named after Tietze, Heine, and Weierstrass, changes significantly upon the replacement of 'second-order representations' to 'third-order functions'. We discuss the implications and connections to the Reverse Mathematics program and its foundational claims regarding predicativist mathematics and Hilbert's program for the foundations of mathematics. Finally, we identify the problem caused by representations of continuous functions and formulate a criterion to avoid problematic codings within the bigger picture of representations.

Bruno Bentzen
This paper aims to answer the question of whether or not Frege's solution limited to value-ranges and truth-values proposed to resolve the "problem of indeterminacy of reference" in section 10 of Grundgesetze is a violation of his principle of complete determination, which states that a predicate must be defined to apply for all objects in general. Closely related to this doubt is the common allegation that Frege was unable to solve a persistent version of the Caesar problem for value-ranges. It is argued that, in Frege’s standards of reducing arithmetic to logic, his solution to the indeterminacy does not give rise to any sort of Caesar problem in the book.

The goal of this paper is to take a step towards the resolution of the problem of finding an analytic sequent calculus for the logic of proofs. For this, we focus on the system Ilp, the intuitionistic version of the logic of proofs. First we present the sequent calculus Gilp that is sound and complete with respect to the system Ilp; we prove that Gilp is cut-free and contraction-free, but it still does not enjoy the subformula property. Then, we enrich the language of the logic of proofs and we formulate in this language a second Gentzen calculus Gilp∗. We show that Gilp∗ is a conservative extension of Gilp, and that Gilp∗ satisfies the subformula property.
