The Kripke–Platek axioms of set theory (KP), pronounced , are a system of axiomatic set theory based on the ideas of and . KP is considerably weaker than Zermelo–Fraenkel set theory (ZFC), and can be thought of as roughly the predicative part of ZFC. The consistency strength of KP with an axiom of infinity is given by the Bachmann–Howard ordinal. Unlike ZFC, KP does not include the power set axiom, and KP includes only limited forms of the axiom of separation and axiom of replacement from ZFC. These restrictions on the axioms of KP lead to close connections between KP, generalized recursion theory, and the theory of admissible ordinals. == The axioms of KP == * Axiom of extensionality: Two sets are the same if and only if they have the same elements. * Axiom of induction: φ(''a'') being a formula, if for all sets ''x'' - the assumption that φ(''y'') holds for all elements ''y'' of ''x'' - entails that φ(''x'') holds, then φ(''x'') holds for all sets ''x''. * Axiom of empty set: There exists a set with no members, called the empty set and denoted {}. (Note: the existence of a member in the universe of discourse, i.e., ∃x(x=x), is implied in certain formulations〔, note at end of §2.3 on page 27: “Those who do not allow relations on an empty universe consider (∃x)x=x and its consequences as theses; we, however, do not share this abhorrence, with so little logical ground, of a vacuum.”〕 of first-order logic, in which case the axiom of empty set follows from the axiom of separation, and is thus redundant.) * Axiom of pairing: If ''x'', ''y'' are sets, then so is {''x'', ''y''}, a set containing ''x'' and ''y'' as its only elements. * Axiom of union: For any set ''x'', there is a set ''y'' such that the elements of ''y'' are precisely the elements of the elements of ''x''. * Axiom of Σ0-separation: Given any set and any Σ0-formula φ(''x''), there is a subset of the original set containing precisely those elements ''x'' for which φ(''x'') holds. (This is an axiom schema.) * Axiom of Σ0-collection: Given any Σ0-formula φ(''x'', ''y''), if for every set ''x'' there exists a set ''y'' such that φ(''x'', ''y'') holds, then for all sets ''u'' there exists a set ''v'' such that for every ''x'' in ''u'' there is a ''y'' in ''v'' such that φ(''x'', ''y'') holds. Here, a Σ0, or Π0, or Δ0 formula is one all of whose quantifiers are bounded. This means any quantification is the form or (More generally, we would say that a formula is Σ''n''+1 when it is obtained by adding existential quantifiers in front of a Π''n'' formula, and that it is Π''n''+1 when it is obtained by adding universal quantifiers in front of a Σ''n'' formula: this is related to the arithmetical hierarchy but in the context of set theory.) *Some but not all authors include an axiom of infinity (in which case the empty set axiom is unnecessary). These axioms are weaker than ZFC as they exclude the axioms of powerset, choice, and sometimes infinity. Also the axioms of separation and collection here are weaker than the corresponding axioms in ZFC because the formulas φ used in these are limited to bounded quantifiers only. The axiom of induction in KP is stronger than the usual axiom of regularity (which amounts to applying induction to the complement of a set (the class of all sets not in the given set)). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kripke–Platek set theory」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
