Problem
What is the finite axiomatizability theorem of Kleene, Craig and Vaught called, and where was it published? [ Editor: problem statement reconstructed from the reply; the original question was not collected. ]
Show solution
The result is called the Kleene-Craig-Vaught finite axiomatizability theorem. Kleene proved the result using proof theory, later Craig and Vaught gave a model theoretic argument, which appears in the J.S.L. sometime around the mid 50's. Kleene's paper appears as one of the first memoirs of the A.M.S. in 1952. Sorry I can't be more precise. -- Ian Mason
