  1. A Note on Choice Principles in Second-Order Logic.Benjamin Siskind, Paolo Mancosu & Stewart Shapiro - 2023 - Review of Symbolic Logic 16 (2):339-350.
    Zermelo’s Theorem that the axiom of choice is equivalent to the principle that every set can be well-ordered goes through in third-order logic, but in second-order logic we run into expressivity issues. In this note, we show that in a natural extension of second-order logic weaker than third-order logic, choice still implies the well-ordering principle. Moreover, this extended second-order logic with choice is conservative over ordinary second-order logic with the well-ordering principle. We also discuss a variant choice principle, due to (...)

  • Infinity, Choice, and Hume’s Principle.Stephen Mackereth - 2024 - Journal of Philosophical Logic 53 (5):1413-1439.
    It has long been known that in the context of axiomatic second-order logic (SOL), Hume’s Principle (HP) is mutually interpretable with “the universe is Dedekind infinite” (DI). In this paper, we offer a more fine-grained analysis of the logical strength of HP, measured by deductive implications rather than interpretability. Our main result is that HP is not deductively conservative over SOL + DI. That is, SOL + HP proves additional theorems in the language of pure second-order logic that are not (...)
