題目:
Paraconsistent set theory and inconsistent mathematics
概要:
Paraconsistent set theory takes as axiomatic the `naive' comprehension
principle that every collection forms a set. The infamous paradoxes are
then just theorems. The background logic that makes this coherently
possible is substantially weaker than classical logic; but the expressive
power of the theory is substantially stronger than classical set theory.
With these competing forces in the background, we will look at two
interrelated goals:
Recapture -- reassurance that nothing too important mathematically is lost
Expansion -- where new insights and results are gained, studying novel
mathematical objects not visible with any other theory
I will survey the development of paraconsistent set theory, showing how the
basic properties of ordinal and cardinal numbers can be established, along
with new perspectives on `proper classes', the axiom of choice, and the
continuum hypothesis. With this foundation, I will mention some further
work in inconsistent mathematics: from computability theory, arithmetic,
analysis, and topology. Throughout I will call attention to the challenges
that this research program faces.
