Abstract: | We compare Brouwer's bar theorem and Spector's bar recursion for the lowest type in the context of constructive reverse mathematics. To this end, we reformulate bar recursion as a logical principle stating the existence of a bar recursor for every function which serves as the stopping condition of bar recursion. We then show that the decidable bar induction is equivalent to the existence of a bar recursor for every continuous function from to with a continuous modulus. We also introduce fan recursion, the bar recursion for binary trees, and show that the decidable fan theorem is equivalent to the existence of a fan recursor for every continuous function from to with a continuous modulus. The equivalence for bar induction holds over the extensional version of intuitionistic arithmetic in all finite types augmented with the characteristic principles of Gödel's Dialectica interpretation. On the other hand, we show the equivalence for fan theorem without using such extra principles. |
