A model with undefinable neutral classes is called neutrally expandable. We study the existence and non-existence of neutral sets in various models of ${\\sf PA}$. We show that cofinal extensions of prime models are neutrally expandable, and $\\omega_1$-like neutrally expandable models exist, while no recursively saturated model is neutrally expandable. We also show that neutrality is not a first-order property. In the last section, we study a local version of neutral expandability.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2017-12-18T16:34:16.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "03C62", "03H15" ], "keywords": [ "neutrally expandable models", "arithmetic", "neutral expandability", "neutral sets", "undefinable neutral classes" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
