Extract

Flipping properties were introduced in set theory by Abramson, Harrington, Kleinberg and Zwicker [1]. Here we consider them in the context of arithmetic and link them with combinatorial properties of initial segments of nonstandard models studied in [3]. As a corollary we obtain independence resutls involving flipping properties.

We follow the notation of the author and Paris in [3] and [2], and assume some knowledge of [3]. M will denote a countable nonstandard model of P (Peano arithmetic) and I will be a proper initial segment of M. We denote by N the standard model or the standard part of M. XI will mean that X is unbounded in I. If XM is coded in M and MK, let X(K) be the subset of K coded in K by the element which codes X in M. So X(K)M = X.

Recall that MIK (K is an I-extension of M) if MK and for some cK,

In [3] regular and strong initial segments are defined, and among other things it is shown that I is regular if and only if there exists an I-extension of M.
