After a presentation of his ideal of rigor based on statements in his published works, I use drafts from his Nachlass to study his invention of the new concept of Dualgruppe (equivalent to our modern lattice). I question the extent to which these preliminary researches hold up to the same standards of rigor. Focusing on a specific law of Dualgruppe theory, I show that the elaboration of a rigorous work can be the outcome of a process that is not necessarily so. I put forward the trial-and-error and inductive aspects of Dedekind’s research practices. I consider whether the Dedekindian ideal of rigor guided mathematical research in its various phases, and what the consequences were of such an ideal of rigor, if any, on mathematical research.","PeriodicalId":51259,"journal":{"name":"Notre Dame Journal of Formal Logic","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91090743","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Let CAn denotes the class of cylindric algebras of dimension n, and RCAn denotes the variety of representable CAns. Let Ln denote rst order logic restricted to the rst n variables. Roughly CAn, an instance of Boolean algbras with operators, is the algebraic counterpart of the syntax of Ln, namely, its proof theory, while RCAn represents algebraically and geometrically Tarskian semantics of Ln. Unlike Boolean algebras, having a Stone representation theorem, RCAn ( CAn. Using combinatorial game theory, we show that the existence of certain nite relation algebras RAs, which are algebras whose domain consists of binary relations, imply that the celebrated Henkin omitting types theorem, fails in a very strong sense for Ln. Using special cases of such nite RAs, we recover the classical nonnite axiomatizability results of Monk, Maddux and Biro on RCAn and we reprove Hirsch and Hodkinson's result that the class of completely representable CAns is not rst order de nable. We show that if T is an Ln countable theory that admits elimination of quanti ers, λ is a cardinal < 2א0 and F = ⟨Γi : i < λ⟩ is a family of complete non-principal types, then F can be omitted in an ordinary countable model of T .","PeriodicalId":51259,"journal":{"name":"Notre Dame Journal of Formal Logic","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2020-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49044957","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
