Jan 31, 2011 at 15:58 comment added Timothy Chow Feferman proves a version of the second incompleteness theorem in his system $FS_0$: Finitary inductively presented logics I don't think $FS_0$ is weaker than $\Sigma_1$ induction though.
Jan 30, 2011 at 23:12 comment added Carl Mummert I learned only recently that Pudlak proved in 1985, by model-theoretic techniques, that Q does not prove Con(Q), along with finer results. This is in the paper "Cuts, consistency statements and interpretations" from the JSL volume 50. I don't think that anyone has proved a sort of reverse-mathematics result that characterizes the amount of induction required to verify the Hilbert-Bernays conditions. $Sigma^0_1$ induction is certainly enough, but I don't remember about weaker theories at the moment.
Jan 29, 2011 at 20:59 comment added Andrés E. Caicedo @Andreas , do you know of a reference that pursues the question of how little/much of PA is actually required? I seem to recall "Metamathematics of first order arithmetic" treats some of this, but don't recall the explicit suggestion that $\Sigma^0_1$ induction seems enough (I do not have the book with me, though, so I cannot currently check).
