On the Mints Hierarchy in First-Order Intuitionistic Logic

We stratify intuitionistic first-order logic over $(\forall,\to)$ into fragments determined by the alternation of positive and negative occurrences of quantifiers (Mints hierarchy). We study the decidability and complexity of these fragments. We prove that even the $\Delta_2$ level is undecidable...
