Abstract

We examine second order intuitionistic propositional logic, IPC2. Let ℱ∃ a be the set of formulas with no universal quantification. We prove Glivenko's theorem for formulas in ℱ∃ that is, for φ ∈ ℱ∃, φ is a classical tautology if and only if ┐┐φ is a tautology of IPC2. We show that for each sentence φ ∈ ℱ∃ (without free variables), φ is a classical tautology if and only if φ is an intuitionistic tautology. As a corollary we obtain a semantic argument that the quantifier ∀ is not definable in IPC2 from ⊥, ⋁, ⋀, →, ∃.
