A result due to Kaufmann shows that every countable model, $\\mathcal{M}$, of $\\mathsf{KP}+\\Pi_n\\textsf{-Collection}$ has a proper $\\Sigma_{n+1}$-elementary end extension. Here we show that there are limits to the amount of the theory of $\\mathcal{M}$ that can be transferred to the end extensions that are guaranteed by Kaufmann's Theorem. Using admissible covers and the Barwise Compactness Theorem, we show that if $\\mathcal{M}$ is a countable model $\\mathsf{KP}+\\Pi_n\\textsf{-Collection}+\\Sigma_{n+1}\\textsf{-Foundation}$ and $T$ is a recursive theory that holds in $\\mathcal{M}$, then there exists a proper $\\Sigma_n$-elementary end extension of $\\mathcal{M}$ that satisfies $T$. We use this result to show that the theory $\\mathsf{M}+\\Pi_n\\textsf{-Collection}+\\Pi_{n+1}\\textsf{-Foundation}$ proves $\\Sigma_{n+1}\\textsf{-Separation}$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2024-06-26T13:36:15.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "03C62", "03H99", "03C70" ], "keywords": [ "partially-elementary end extensions", "countable model", "denote kripke-platek set theory", "weak set theory", "collection scheme" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 23, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
