In mathematical logic, conservativity theorem states the following: Suppose that is a theorem of a first-order theory . Let be a theory obtained from by extending its language with new constants and adding new axiom . Then is a conservative extension of , which means that the theory has the same set of theorems in the original language as the theory .
