Abstract

 Presburger Arithmetic is the true theory of natural numbers with addition. We study interpretations of Presburger Arithmetic in itself. The main result of this paper is that all self-interpretations are definably isomorphic to the trivial one. Here we consider interpretations that might be multi-dimensional. We note that this resolves a conjecture by A. Visser. In order to prove the result we show that all linear orderings that are interpretable in (N, +) are scattered orders with the finite Hausdorff rank and that the ranks are bounded in the terms of the dimensions of the respective interpretations.
