The Godel Hierarchy and Reverse Mathematics

TL;DR: In 1900, the great mathematician David Hilbert laid down a list of 23 mathematical problems which exercised a great influence on subsequent mathematical research as mentioned in this paper, and it is noteworthy that Hilbert's Problems 1 and 2 are squarely in the area of foundations of mathematics, while Problems 10 and 17 turned out to be closely related to mathematical logic.

On the number of steps in proofs

TL;DR: This paper proves some results about the complexity of proofs in Hilbert-style formal systems such as in [17], and shows a bound on the number of steps in a cut-free proof, some speed-up results, and bounds on theNumber of Steps in proofs of Paris-Harrington sentences.

Explicit Environments

TL;DR: In this paper, a simply typed λβ-calculus with environments as first class values is introduced, which has desirable properties such as subject reduction, confluence, conservativity, and strong normalizability.

A generalization of the Second Incompleteness Theorem and some exceptions to it

TL;DR: The notion of a naming convention is introduced and this paradigm is used to both develop a new version of the Second Incompleteness Theorem and to describe when an axiom system can partially evade the Second incompleville Theorem.

The event bush as a semantic-based numerical approach to natural hazard assessment (exemplified by volcanology)

TL;DR: The event bush is a new formalism for organizing knowledge in various fields of geoscience, particularly suitable for hazard assessment purposes, and the connection with Bayesian belief networks is presented.
