On the theory of exponential integer parts
Abstract
We axiomatize the first-order theories of exponential integer parts of real-closed exponential fields in a language with 2x, in a language with a predicate for powers of 2, and in the basic language of ordered rings. In particular, the last theory extends IOpen by sentences expressing the existence of winning strategies in a certain game on integers; we show that it is a proper extension of IOpen, and give upper and lower bounds on the required number of rounds needed to win the game.
