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 by adding a random predicate to a class of structures. Chatzidakis and Pillay axiomatized the theories obtained in this way. In this article, we look at the subsets of models of $mathsf{PA}$ which satisfy the axiomatization given by Chatzidakis and Pillay; we refer to these subsets in models of $mathsf{PA}$ as CP-generics. We study a more natural property, called strong CP-genericity, which implies CP-genericity. We use an arithmetic version of Cohen forcing to construct (strong) CP-generics with various properties, including ones in which every element of the model is definable in the expansion, and, on the other extreme, ones in which the definable closure relation is unchanged.
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
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
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 o
Inspired by a mathematical riddle involving fuses, we define the fusible numbers as follows: $0$ is fusible, and whenever $x,y$ are fusible with $|y-x|<1$, the number $(x+y+1)/2$ is also fusible. We prove that the set of fusible numbers, ordered by t
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
