A subset of a model of ${sf PA}$ is called neutral if it does not change the $mathrm{dcl}$ relation. A model with undefinable neutral classes is called neutrally expandable. We study the existence and non-existence of neutral sets in various models of ${sf PA}$. We show that cofinal extensions of prime models are neutrally expandable, and $omega_1$-like neutrally expandable models exist, while no recursively saturated model is neutrally expandable. We also show that neutrality is not a first-order property. In the last section, we study a local version of neutral expandability.
Simpson showed that every countable model $mathcal{M} models mathsf{PA}$ has an expansion $(mathcal{M}, X) models mathsf{PA}^*$ that is pointwise definable. A natural question is whether, in general, one can obtain expansions of a non-prime model in
We study notions of genericity in models of $mathsf{PA}$, inspired by lines of inquiry initiated by Chatzidakis and Pillay and continued by Dolich, Miller and Steinhorn in general model-theoretic contexts. These papers studied the theories obtained b
If $M prec N$ are models of Peano Arithmetic and Lt$(N/M)$ is the pentagon lattice $N_5$, then $N$ is either a cofinal or an end extension of $M$. In contrast, there are $M prec N$ that are models of PA* (PA in a language with countably many new pred
We show that Browns lemma is equivalent to Sigma02-induction over RCA0* and that the finite version of Browns lemma is provable in RCA0 but not in RCA0*.
We analyze Ekelands variational principle in the context of reverse mathematics. We find that that the full variational principle is equivalent to $Pi^1_1$-${sf CA}_0$, a strong theory of second-order arithmetic, while natural restrictions (e.g.~to c
