Significant fragments of classical analysis Victor Harnik ABSTRACT Classical analysis can be developed in a certain strong fragment of second order arithmetic (this fragment is sometimes called, simply, "analysis"). The full strentgh of "analysis" is rarely needed for the most important theorems and a line of research initiated by Friedman, is concerned with the question of determining precisely the subsystem of analysis needed to prove particular theorems. Certain important fragments of analysis have been singled out and their relation to various results of analysis clarified. I will give a survey of the subject and will conclude by outlining a new proof of a theorem of Harrington, concerned with the relationship between two fragments of analysis called "Weak Koenig Lemma" and "Recursive Comprehension Axiom".
