Text of the page (random words):
hey could put mathematics on a solid foundation by describing a categorical first order theory of some version of set theory the löwenheim skolem theorem dealt a first blow to this hope as it implies that a first order theory which has an infinite model cannot be categorical later in 1931 the hope was shattered completely by gödel s incompleteness theorem 2 many consequences of the löwenheim skolem theorem seemed counterintuitive to logicians in the early 20th century as the distinction between first order and non first order properties was not yet understood one such consequence is the existence of uncountable models of true arithmetic which satisfy every first order induction axiom but have non inductive subsets let n denote the natural numbers and r the reals it follows from the theorem that the theory of n 0 1 the theory of true first order arithmetic has uncountable models and that the theory of r 0 1 the theory of real closed fields has a countable model there are of course axiomatizations characterizing n 0 1 and r 0 1 up to isomorphism the löwenheim skolem theorem shows that these axiomatizations cannot be first order for example in the theory of the real numbers the completeness of a linear order used to characterize r as a complete ordered field is a non first order property 2 161 another consequence that was considered particularly troubling is the existence of a countable model of set theory which nevertheless must satisfy the sentence saying the real numbers are uncountable cantor s theorem states that some sets are uncountable this counterintuitive situation came to be known as skolem s paradox it shows that the notion of countability is not absolute 5 proof sketch edit downward part edit for each first order σ displaystyle sigma formula φ y x 1 x n displaystyle varphi y x_ 1 ldots x_ n the axiom of choice implies the existence of a function f φ m n m displaystyle f_ varphi m n to m such that for all a 1 a n m displaystyle a_ 1 ldots a_ n in m either m φ f φ a 1 a n a 1 a n displaystyle m models varphi f_ varphi a_ 1 dots a_ n a_ 1 dots a_ n or m y φ y a 1 a n displaystyle m models neg exists y varphi y a_ 1 dots a_ n applying the axiom of choice again we get a function from the first order formulas φ displaystyle varphi to such functions f φ displaystyle f_ varphi the family of functions f φ displaystyle f_ varphi gives rise to a preclosure operator f displaystyle f on the power set of m displaystyle m f a f φ a 1 a n m φ σ a 1 a n a displaystyle f a f_ varphi a_ 1 dots a_ n in m mid varphi in sigma a_ 1 dots a_ n in a for a m displaystyle a subseteq m iterating f displaystyle f countably many times results in a closure operator f ω displaystyle f omega taking an arbitrary subset a m displaystyle a subseteq m such that a κ displaystyle left vert a right vert kappa and having defined n f ω a displaystyle n f omega a one can see that also n κ displaystyle left vert n right vert kappa then n displaystyle n is an elementary substructure of m displaystyle m by the tarski vaught test the trick used in this proof is essentially due to skolem who introduced function symbols for the skolem functions f φ displaystyle f_ varphi into the language one could also define the f φ displaystyle f_ varphi as partial functions such that f φ displaystyle f_ varphi is defined if and only if m y φ y a 1 a n displaystyle m models exists y varphi y a_ 1 ldots a_ n the only important point is that f displaystyle f is a preclosure operator such that f a displaystyle f a contains a solution for every formula with parameters in a displaystyle a which has a solution in m displaystyle m and that f a a σ ℵ 0 displaystyle left vert f a right vert leq left vert a right vert left vert sigma right vert aleph _ 0 upward part edit first one extends the signature by adding a new constant symbol for every element of m displaystyle m the complete theory of m displaystyle m for the extended signature σ displaystyle sigma is called the elementary diagram of m displaystyle m in the next step one adds κ displaystyle kappa many new constant symbols to the signature and adds to the elementary diagram of m displaystyle m the sentences c c displaystyle c neq c for any two distinct new constant symbols c displaystyle c and c displaystyle c using the compactness theorem the resulting theory is easily seen to be consistent since its models must have cardinality at least κ displaystyle kappa the downward part of this theorem guarantees the existence of a model n displaystyle n which has cardinality exactly κ displaystyle kappa it contains an isomorphic copy of m displaystyle m as an elementary substructure 6 7 100 102 in other logics edit main article löwenheim number although the classical löwenheim skolem theorem is tied very closely to first order logic variants hold for other logics for example every consistent theory in second order logic has a model smaller than the first supercompact cardinal assuming one exists the minimum size at which a downward löwenheim skolem type theorem applies in a logic is known as the löwenheim number and can be used to characterize that logic s strength moreover if we go beyond first order logic we must give up one of three things countable compactness the downward löwenheim skolem theorem or the properties of an abstract logic 8 134 historical notes edit this account is based mainly on dawson 1993 to understand the early history of model theory one must distinguish between syntactical consistency no contradiction can be derived using the deduction rules for first order logic and satisfiability there is a model somewhat surprisingly even before the completeness theorem made the distinction unnecessary the term consistent was used sometimes in one sense and sometimes in the other the first significant result in what later became model theory was löwenheim s theorem in leopold löwenheim s publication über möglichkeiten im relativkalkül on possibilities in the calculus of relatives 1915 for every countable signature σ every σ sentence that is satisfiable is satisfiable in a countable model löwenheim s paper was actually concerned with the more general peirce schröder calculus of relatives relation algebra with quantifiers 2 he also used the now antiquated notations of ernst schröder for a summary of the paper in english and using modern notation see brady 2000 chapter 8 according to the received historical view löwenheim s proof was faulty because it implicitly used kőnig s lemma without proving it although the lemma was not yet a published result at the time in a revisionist account badesa 2004 considers that löwenheim s proof was complete skolem 1920 gave a correct proof using formulas in what would later be called skolem normal form and relying on the axiom of choice every countable theory which is satisfiable in a model m is satisfiable in a countable substructure of m skolem 1922 also proved the following weaker version without the axiom of choice every countable theory which is satisfiable in a model is also satisfiable in a countable model skolem 1929 simplified skolem 1920 finally anatoly maltsev proved the löwenheim skolem theorem in its full generality maltsev 1936 he cited a note by skolem according to which the theorem had been proved by alfred tarski in a seminar in 1928 therefore the general theorem is sometimes known as the löwenheim skolem tarski theorem but tarski did not remember his proof and it remains a mystery how he could do it without the compactness theorem it is somewhat ironic that skolem s name is connected with the upward direction of the theorem as well as with the downward direction i follow custom in calling corollary 6 1 4 the upward löwenheim skolem theorem but in fact skolem didn t even believe it because he didn t believe in the existence of uncountable sets hodges 1993 skolem rejected the result as meaningless tarski very reasonably responded that skolem s formalist viewpoint ought to reckon the downward löwenheim skolem theorem meaningless just like the upward hodges 1993 legend has it that thoralf skolem up until the end of his life was scandalized by the association of his name to a result of this type which he considered an absurdity nondenumerable sets being for him fictions without real existence poizat 2000
