Büchi arithmetics $\mathop{\mathbf{BA}}\nolimits_n$, $n\ge 2$, are extensions of Presburger arithmetic with an unary functional symbol $V_n(x)$ denoting the largest power of $n$ that divides $x$. We explore the structure of non-standard models of Büchi arithmetics and construct an example of a countable non-standard model of $\mathop{\mathbf{BA}}\nolimits_2$.
Büchi arithmetics $\mathop{\mathbf{BA}}\nolimits_n$, $n\ge 2$, are extensions of Presburger arithmetic with an unary functional symbol $V_n(x)$ denoting the largest power of $n$ that divides $x$. A rank of a linear order is the minimal number of condensations required to reach a finite order. We show that linear orders of arbitrarily large finite rank can be interpreted in $\mathop{\mathbf{BA}}\nolimits_n$. We also prove that the extension of the axioms of Presburger arithmetic with the inductive definition of $V_n$ does not yield an axiomatization of $\mathop{\mathbf{BA}}\nolimits_n$.
We prove the linear orders first-order definable in the standard model $(\ZZ;<,+)$ of Presburger arithmetic are exactly those that are $(\ZZ;<,+)$-definably embeddable into the lexicographic ordering on $\ZZ^n$ for some $n$.
Presburger Arithmetic is the true theory of natural numbers with addition. We study interpretations of Presburger Arithmetic in itself. The main result of this paper is that all self-interpretations are definably isomorphic to the trivial one. Here we consider interpretations that might be multi-dimensional. We note that this resolves a conjecture by A. Visser. In order to prove the result we show that all linear orderings that are interpretable in $(\mathbb{N};+)$ are scattered orderings with the finite Hausdorff rank and that the ranks are bounded in the terms of the dimensions of the respective interpretations.
Presburger Arithmetic $\mathop{\mathbf{PrA}}\nolimits$ is the true theory of natural numbers with addition. We consider linear orderings interpretable in Presburger Arithmetic and establish various necessary and sufficient conditions for interpretability depending on dimension $n$ of interpretation. We note this problem is relevant to the interpretations of Presburger Arithmetic in itself, as well as the characterization of automatic orderings. For $n=2$ we obtain the complete criterion of interpretability.
Presburger arithmetic PrA is the true theory of natural numbers with addition. We study interpretations of PrA in itself. We prove that all one-dimensional self-interpretations are definably isomorphic to the identity self-interpretation. In order to prove the results we show that all linear orders that are interpretable in (N,+) are scattered orders with the finite Hausdorff rank and that the ranks are bounded in terms of the dimension of the respective interpretations. From our result about self-interpretations of PrA it follows that PrA isn't one-dimensionally interpretable in any of its finite subtheories. We note that the latter was conjectured by A. Visser.
