Line 1: Line 1:
A Scott set is a set of sets of natural numbers $\mathfrak X$ such that $(\omega, {\mathfrak X})\models {\sf WKL}_0$,  Assume $\lnot{\sf CH}$. Is every Scott set the standard system of a nonstandard model of PA?
 
  
The origins of the problem goes back the paper of Scott <cite> scott1962:algebras </cite>, where it is shown that the answer is positive for countable sets $\mathfrak X$.
 
 
Knight and Nadel <cite> knightnadel1982:models </cite>, and independently Ehrenfeucht (unpublished), gave positive answer for $\mathfrak X$ of cardinality $\aleph_1$.
 
 
Jim Schmerl <cite> schmerl1973:peano </cite> gave positive answer for arithmetic closures of sets of (arithmetic) Cohen generics of any cardinality.
 
 
For more recent attempts employing forcing axioms see <cite> gitman2008:scott </cite>
