Separation of choice principles in elementary topoi
Separation of choice principles in elementary topoi
Let denote the natural numbers, let , and let , , and denote the choice principles defined in the paper. Let and be the Cauchy and Dedekind real objects, respectively.
Choice-separation conjecture.
- There exists an elementary topos in which holds but does not.
- There exists an elementary topos in which holds but does not.
- There exists an elementary topos in which holds but .
These claims seek elementary-topos models separating bounded, natural-number-valued, and two-valued choice, and the third would imply the second. The supplied text provides no resolution.
