Abstract

TAPP is a total applicative theory, conservative over intuitionistic arithmetic. In this paper, we first show that the same holds for TAPP + the choice principle EAC; then we generalize this to TAPP + inductive definitions. Finally, we use TAPP to show that P.Martin-Löfs basic extensional theory MLp is conservative over intuitionistic arithmetic.
