Proof-theoretic conservations of weak weak intuitionistic constructive set theories

The paper aims to provide precise proof theoretic characterizations of Myhill-Friedman-style “weak” constructive extensional set theories and Aczel-Rathjen analogous constructive set theories both enriched by Mostowski-style collapsing axioms and/or related anti-foundation axioms. The main results include full intuitionistic conservations over the corresponding purely arithmetical formalisms that are well known in the reverse mathematics - which strengthens analogous results obtained by the author in the 80s. The present research was inspired by the more recent Sato-style “weak weak” classical extensional set theories whose proof theoretic strengths are shown to strongly exceed the ones of the intuitionistic counterparts in the presence of the collapsing axioms.
