I have a claim I need to prove or disprove. Let Sk(A) be the Skolemization of A (A is a sentence). If Sk(A) is valid then A is also valid.

In other exercise I was asked if A is valid then Sk(A) is also valid, but I think I disproved it with a counter example(if it is right then please let me know hehe)

I think that its true that if Sk(A) is valid then A is also valid, but I don't know how to show that.

Any ideas where to start?

    What does *valid* mean? In a given $L$-structure? The language has changed, and one technically needs to provide an interpretation for the new constant symbols/function symbols. However, under *any* such interpretation, if the Skolemization is valid, then the sentence is.2012-12-14
