Separating principles below Ramsey's Theorem for Pairs

preprint2013arXivOpen access

Abstract

In recent years, there has been a substantial amount of work in reverse mathematics concerning natural mathematical principles that are provable from $\RT$, Ramsey's Theorem for Pairs. These principles tend to fall outside of the "big five" systems of reverse mathematics and a complicated picture of subsystems below $\RT$ has emerged. In this paper, we answer two open questions concerning these subsystems, specifically that $\ADS$ is not equivalent to $\CAC$ and that $\EM$ is not equivalent to $\RT$.
