<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Friedman's_grand_conjecture">Friedman's grand conjecture</h2></div>
<p><a href="Harvey_Friedman_(mathematician)" title="Harvey Friedman (mathematician)">Harvey Friedman</a>'s <b>grand conjecture</b> implies that many mathematical theorems, such as <a href="Fermat's_Last_Theorem" title="Fermat's Last Theorem">Fermat's Last Theorem</a>, can be proved in very weak systems such as EFA.
</p><p>The original statement of the conjecture from <a href="#CITEREFFriedman1999">Friedman (1999)</a> is:
</p>
<dl><dd>"Every theorem published in the <i><a href="Annals_of_Mathematics" title="Annals of Mathematics">Annals of Mathematics</a></i> whose statement involves only finitary mathematical objects (i.e., what logicians call an arithmetical statement) can be proved in EFA. EFA is the weak fragment of <a href="Peano_Arithmetic" class="mw-redirect" title="Peano Arithmetic">Peano Arithmetic</a> based on the usual quantifier-free axioms for 0,&nbsp;1,&nbsp;+,&nbsp;×,&nbsp;exp, together with the scheme of <a href="Mathematical_induction" title="Mathematical induction">induction</a> for all formulas in the language all of whose quantifiers are bounded."</dd></dl>
<p>While it is easy to construct artificial arithmetical statements that are true but not provable in EFA, the point of Friedman's conjecture is that natural examples of such statements in mathematics seem to be rare. Some natural examples include consistency statements from logic, several statements related to <a href="Ramsey_theory" title="Ramsey theory">Ramsey theory</a> such as the <a href="Szemer%C3%A9di_regularity_lemma" title="Szemerédi regularity lemma">Szemerédi regularity lemma</a>, and the <a href="Graph_minor_theorem" class="mw-redirect" title="Graph minor theorem">graph minor theorem</a>.
</p>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Related_systems">Related systems</h2></div>
<p>Several related computational complexity classes have similar properties to EFA:
</p>
<ul><li>One can omit the binary function symbol exp from the language, by taking Robinson arithmetic together with induction for all formulas with bounded quantifiers and an axiom stating roughly that exponentiation is a function defined everywhere. This is similar to EFA and has the same proof theoretic strength, but is more cumbersome to work with.</li>
