Extract

One of the main results of Barwise [2] (see also [7, Chapter VIII]) showed that the s reflection principle for a set A is equivalent to Σ1-compactness of . Here A is any transitive p.r. closed set, and is the infinitary language on A which allows conjunction and disjunction over arbitrary sets Φ Є A, and finite quantification.

In this paper we consider languages , where B is a Δ0 subset of A, which is like but we allow quantifiers ∀x and ∃x where x is any set of variables indexed by an element of B. A treatment similar to that of [2] for establishes a sufficient, and in some cases necessary, condition for to be Σ1-compact. The use of infinitary Skolem functions is intrinsic to the method, so to avoid a separate development of the rudiments of the Skolem language we actually define to have b-ary relation and function symbols for every b Є B.
