2 A classical result Theorem (Shepherdson, Cohen) There is a least transitive model of ZFC. K Williams (CUNY) Minimal models of second-order set theories 2016 March 11 2 / 17

3 Gödel Bernays set theory with global choice Models of GBC consist of sets (x, y, z,...) and classes (X, Y, Z,...). For a model (M, X ) we will always assume that X P(M). The axioms: ZFC for sets; Extensionality for classes: classes with the same members are equal. Class Replacement: if F is a class function and a is a set then F a is a set. Comprehension for formulae with only set quantifiers: {x : ϕ(x, P)} is a class. Global Choice: there is a bijection V Ord.

4 Gödel Bernays set theory with global choice Models of GBC consist of sets (x, y, z,...) and classes (X, Y, Z,...). For a model (M, X ) we will always assume that X P(M). The axioms: ZFC for sets; Extensionality for classes: classes with the same members are equal. Class Replacement: if F is a class function and a is a set then F a is a set. Comprehension for formulae with only set quantifiers: {x : ϕ(x, P)} is a class. Global Choice: there is a bijection V Ord. Theorem (Folklore) Every countable model of ZFC can be extended to a model of GBC without adding any new sets. (Force to add a global well-order, close off under definability.) K Williams (CUNY) Minimal models of second-order set theories 2016 March 11 3 / 17

5 The same classical result Theorem (Shepherdson) There is a least transitive model of GBC. K Williams (CUNY) Minimal models of second-order set theories 2016 March 11 4 / 17

6 The same classical result Theorem (Shepherdson) There is a least transitive model of GBC. Definition (M, X ) is transitive if X is transitive or, equivalently, if M is transitive. K Williams (CUNY) Minimal models of second-order set theories 2016 March 11 4 / 17

7 Stronger second-order set theories Kelley Morse set theory (KM) is like GBC, but the Comprehension schema is strengthened to allow formulae with class quantifiers. K Williams (CUNY) Minimal models of second-order set theories 2016 March 11 5 / 17

8 Stronger second-order set theories Kelley Morse set theory (KM) is like GBC, but the Comprehension schema is strengthened to allow formulae with class quantifiers. Theorem (Folklore) KM proves there is a truth predicate for first-order truth. In particular, KM proves Con(ZFC). K Williams (CUNY) Minimal models of second-order set theories 2016 March 11 5 / 17

9 Stronger second-order set theories KM + is KM plus the Class Collection axiom schema: If for every set x there is a class Y so that ϕ(x, Y, P), then there is a class Z so that ϕ(x, Z x, P) for every x, where Z x is the slice Z x = {y : (x, y) Z}. Z x Z x K Williams (CUNY) Minimal models of second-order set theories 2016 March 11 6 / 17

10 Stronger second-order set theories KM + is KM plus the Class Collection axiom schema: If for every set x there is a class Y so that ϕ(x, Y, P), then there is a class Z so that ϕ(x, Z x, P) for every x, where Z x is the slice Z x = {y : (x, y) Z}. Z x Z x Fact If κ is inaccessible then (V κ, V κ+1 ) is a model of KM +. K Williams (CUNY) Minimal models of second-order set theories 2016 March 11 6 / 17

11 Second-order set theory is first-order set theory in disguise Theorem KM + and ZFC I are bi-interpretable, where ZFC I is ZFC Powerset plus the assertion that there is a largest cardinal, which is inaccessible. K Williams (CUNY) Minimal models of second-order set theories 2016 March 11 7 / 17

Mod out by isomorphism. K Williams (CUNY) Minimal models of second-order set theories 2016 March 11 7 / 17

30 What if (M, X ) is wrong about well-foundedness? If A is in the well-founded part of W, the same argument works. K Williams (CUNY) Minimal models of second-order set theories 2016 March / 17

31 What if (M, X ) is wrong about well-foundedness? If A is in the well-founded part of W, the same argument works. But it might be that W has no admissible sets containing M in its well-founded part. K Williams (CUNY) Minimal models of second-order set theories 2016 March / 17

32 What if (M, X ) is wrong about well-foundedness? If A is in the well-founded part of W, the same argument works. But it might be that W has no admissible sets containing M in its well-founded part. Thus, Friedman s theorem must be generalized to include the ill-founded case. (Use Barwise s notion of the admissible cover.) K Williams (CUNY) Minimal models of second-order set theories 2016 March / 17

33 What if (M, X ) is wrong about well-foundedness? If A is in the well-founded part of W, the same argument works. But it might be that W has no admissible sets containing M in its well-founded part. Thus, Friedman s theorem must be generalized to include the ill-founded case. (Use Barwise s notion of the admissible cover.) Also, we have to be more careful when arguing that X Y. K Williams (CUNY) Minimal models of second-order set theories 2016 March / 17

39 Recent work by others Theorem (C. Antos & S. Friedman) For any real r there is a least β-model of KM + + DC containing r. Definition (M, X ) is a β-model if it is correct about well-foundedness. K Williams (CUNY) Minimal models of second-order set theories 2016 March / 17

40 Some open questions What about the uncountable case? Can an uncountable model of ZFC have a least KM-realization? A least GBC-realization? K Williams (CUNY) Minimal models of second-order set theories 2016 March / 17

41 Some open questions What about the uncountable case? Can an uncountable model of ZFC have a least KM-realization? A least GBC-realization? Fact There are uncountable models of ZFC without any GBC-realizations. Consider M = ZFC + x V HOD(x) which is rather classless.
