116b- Lecture 12

We sketched the method of indicators and the hierarchy of fast-growing functions as techniques to prove independence in \mathsf{PA}. Then we proved Ramsey’s theorem. We will use the method of indicators to show the Kanamori-McAloon theorem that the version of Ramsey’s theorem for regressive functions is not provable in \mathsf{PA}.
