Conjectured reflection classifications for labelled Kruskal's theorem
Conjectured reflection classifications for labelled Kruskal's theorem
Let denote labelled Kruskal's theorem with labels drawn from , and let denote its restriction to labels below . Let and be the corresponding uniform reflection principles over the indicated base theories. Pakhomov–Freund conjectures. The following classifications hold:
and
These conjectures seek proof-theoretic classifications of labelled Kruskal's theorem and its finite-label versions in terms of reflection principles, extending the known classification of unlabelled Kruskal's theorem. The first proposed classification is attributed to F. Pakhomov and the second to A. Freund; their status is not established in the supplied source.
