Connections between descriptive set theory and HF-logic

In this thesis we give a positive answer to the question "Is it true that the set of all definable elements of $ rm { bf R sp{f}} subset$ R, where R is the set of real numbers, is elementary substructure of R in HF-logics?" This result is proved under the set-theoretic hypothesis of Projec...

Description
Summary:In this thesis we give a positive answer to the question "Is it true that the set of all definable elements of $ rm { bf R sp{f}} subset$ R, where R is the set of real numbers, is elementary substructure of R in HF-logics?" This result is proved under the set-theoretic hypothesis of Projective Determinacy (PD). We also study the structure of hereditary finite closure of a set; the notions of pattern and matching of patterns are discussed in sufficient detail.
