We use techniques of modal logic to formalize the logic of Reverse Mathematics into a system that we name s-logic. We argue that s-logic captures precisely the \"logical\" content of the implication and nonimplication relations between subsystems in Reverse Mathematics. We present a sound, complete, decidable, and compact tableau-style deductive system for s-logic, and explore in detail two fragments that are particularly relevant to Reverse Mathematics practice and automated theorem proving of Reverse Mathematics results.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2014-01-03T13:51:02.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "03B30", "03B45" ], "keywords": [ "modal logic", "reverse mathematics results", "compact tableau-style deductive system", "reverse mathematics practice", "implication relationship" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2014arXiv1401.0648M" } } }
