Weak Theories and Essential Incompleteness
... theory (which is recursively axiomatizable and of which Peano arithmetic is an extension) is essentially incomplete. A theory T is decidable if the set of all its theorems, i.e. the set of all sentences provable in T, is recursive. If T is not decidable then it is undecidable. Trivially, a decidable ...
