A question about $KP + V = L$ and $KP$ set theory.

118 Views Asked by At

In reading Rathjen (Choice principles in constructive set theories) and Jager (On Feferman's OST) I've come across two facts that are taken as obvious/well known, and probably are, but for which I cannot find a reference/work out how to prove. Either a reference or even just a hint in the right direction of how they might be shown would be much appreciated!!

The two facts are very similar:

1) $KP + V = L$ is conservative over $KP$ for $\Sigma_1$ formulae (Rathjen,p10)

2) $KP + V = L$ is conservative over $KP$ for absolute formulae (Jager, p30)

*in both cases the axiom of infinity is assumed.

As I say even just a general proof strategy for working out such claims would be much (perhaps more) appreciated.
