| Research Abstract |
Second order arithmetic was first introduced by D.Hilbert around 1920's to set a firm foundation of analysis. Among many different formalizations of second order arithmetic, RCA_0 and WKL_0 are particularly important with respect to Hilbert's program. Tanaka and Yamazaki, in cooperation with Simpson, proved that one can eliminate, the compactness argument from proofs for a certain sort of theorems in WKL_0, namely WKL_0 is conservative over RCA_0 for the formulas in a certain form. They also showed that the bounded dependent choice scheme, which is often used in the computation of real numbers, can not be eliminated likewise. Thus, Tanaka and Yamazaki constructed an appropriate truth definition for the real number system via the quantifier elimination method, by which one can manipulate the reals freely in RCA_0. By sophisticating this argument, Tanaka, jointly with Sakamoto, could prove Hilbert's Nullstellensatz within RCA_0. Yamazaki and Sakamoto also studied uniform versions of WKL_0 and other statements within higher order arithmetic. Yamazaki investigated the logical strength of completeness theorems for intuitionistic logic.
