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 compact spaces or continuous functions) yield statements equivalent to weak Konigs lemma (${sf WKL}_0$) and to arithmetical comprehension (${sf ACA}_0$). We also find that the localized version of Ekelands variational principle is equivalent to $Pi^1_1$-${sf CA}_0$ even when restricting to continuous functions. This is a rare example of a statement about continuous functions having great logical strength.
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
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
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 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
We prove that uniform metastability is equivalent to all closed subspaces being pseudocompact and use this to provide a topological proof of the metatheorem introduced by Caicedo, Duenez and Iovino on uniform metastability and countable compactness for logics.
