On first-order theories with provability operator
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 March 2014
Abstract
In this paper the modal operator “x is provable in Peano Arithmetic” is incorporated into first-order theories. A provability extension of a theory is defined. Presburger Arithmetic of addition, Skolem Arithmetic of multiplication, and some first order theories of partial consistency statements are shown to remain decidable after natural provability extensions. It is also shown that natural provability extensions of a decidable theory may be undecidable.
