In this paper we study the reverse mathematics of two theorems by Bonnet about partial orders. These results concern the structure and cardinality of the collection of the initial intervals. The first theorem states that a partial order has no infinite antichains if and only if its initial intervals are finite unions of ideals. The second one asserts that a countable partial order is scattered and does not contain infinite antichains if and only if it has countably many initial intervals. We show that the left to right directions of these theorems are equivalent to ACA_0 and ATR_0, respectively. On the other hand, the opposite directions are both provable in WKL_0, but not in RCA_0. We also prove the equivalence with ACA_0 of the following result of Erdos and Tarski: a partial order with no infinite strong antichains has no arbitrarily large finite strong antichains.

We investigate the strength of a randomness notion $mathcal R$ as a set-existence principle in second-order arithmetic: for each $Z$ there is an $X$ that is $mathcal R$-random relative to $Z$. We show that the equivalence between $2$-randomness and b
eing infinitely often $C$-incompressible is provable in $mathsf{RCA}_0$. We verify that $mathsf{RCA}_0$ proves the basic implications among randomness notions: $2$-random $Rightarrow$ weakly $2$-random $Rightarrow$ Martin-L{o}f random $Rightarrow$ computably random $Rightarrow$ Schnorr random. Also, over $mathsf{RCA}_0$ the existence of computable randoms is equivalent to the existence of Schnorr randoms. We show that the existence of balanced randoms is equivalent to the existence of Martin-L{o}f randoms, and we describe a sense in which this result is nearly optimal.
Using the tools of reverse mathematics in second-order arithmetic, as developed by Friedman, Simpson, and others, we determine the axioms necessary to develop various topics in commutative ring theory. Our main contributions to the field are as follo
ws. We look at fundamental results concerning primary ideals and the radical of an ideal, concepts previously unstudied in reverse mathematics. Then we turn to a fine-grained analysis of four different definitions of Noetherian in the weak base system $mathsf{RCA}_0 + mathsf{I}Sigma_2$. Finally, we begin a systematic study of various types of integral domains: PIDs, UFDs and Bezout and GCD domains.
Ramseys theorem for pairs asserts that every 2-coloring of the pairs of integers has an infinite monochromatic subset. In this paper, we study a strengthening of Ramseys theorem for pairs due to Erdos and Rado, which states that every 2-coloring of t
he pairs of rationals has either an infinite 0-homogeneous set or a 1-homogeneous set of order type eta, where eta is the order type of the rationals. This theorem is a natural candidate to lie strictly between the arithmetic comprehension axiom and Ramseys theorem for pairs. This Erdos-Rado theorem, like the tree theorem for pairs, belongs to a family of Ramsey-type statements whose logical strength remains a challenge.
We introduce the notion of tau-like partial order, where tau is one of the linear order types omega, omega*, omega+omega*, and zeta. For example, being omega-like means that every element has finitely many predecessors, while being zeta-like means th
at every interval is finite. We consider statements of the form any tau-like partial order has a tau-like linear extension and any tau-like partial order is embeddable into tau (when tau is zeta this result appears to be new). Working in the framework of reverse mathematics, we show that these statements are equivalent either to BSigma^0_2 or to ACA_0 over the usual base system RCA_0.
A quasi-order $Q$ induces two natural quasi-orders on $P(Q)$, but if $Q$ is a well-quasi-order, then these quasi-orders need not necessarily be well-quasi-orders. Nevertheless, Goubault-Larrecq showed that moving from a well-quasi-order $Q$ to the qu
asi-orders on $P(Q)$ preserves well-quasi-orderedness in a topological sense. Specifically, Goubault-Larrecq proved that the upper topologies of the induced quasi-orders on $P(Q)$ are Noetherian, which means that they contain no infinite strictly descending sequences of closed sets. We analyze various theorems of the form if $Q$ is a well-quasi-order then a certain topology on (a subset of) $P(Q)$ is Noetherian in the style of reverse mathematics, proving that these theorems are equivalent to ACA_0 over RCA_0. To state these theorems in RCA_0 we introduce a new framework for dealing with second-countable topological spaces.
