Localizing finite-depth Kripke models

摘要

We can look at a first-order (or propositional) intuitionistic Kripke model as an ordered set of classical models. In this paper, we show that for a finite-depth Kripke model in an arbitrary first-order language or propositional language, local (classical) truth of a formula is equivalent to non-classical truth (truth in the Kripke semantics) of a Friedman's translation of that formula, i.e. $ lpha Vdash A^ho Leftrightarrow mathfrak{M}_lpha models A$. We introduce some applications of this fact. We extend the result of Ardeshir and Hesaam (2002, Math. Logic Quart., 48, 391–395) and show that semi-narrow Kripke models of Heyting Arithmetic $ extsf{HA} $ are locally $ extsf{PA} $.
