چکیده

It is shown that there exists a low2 Harrington non-splitting base — that is, a low2 computably enumerable (c.e.) degree a such that for any c.e. degrees x,y, if 0′ = x ∨ y, then either 0′ = x ∨ a or 0′ = y ∨ a. Contrary to prior expectations, the standard Harrington non-splitting construction is incompatible with the low2-ness requirements to be satisfied, and the proof given involves new techniques with potentially wider application.

The Strongest Nonsplitting Theorem

Sacks [14] showed that every computably enumerable (c.e.) degree ≥ 0 has a c.e. splitting. Hence, relativising, every c.e. degree has a Δ2 splitting above each proper predecessor (by ‘splitting’ we understand ‘nontrivial splitting’). Arslanov [1] showed that 0′ has a d.c.e. splitting above each c.e. a < 0′. On the other hand, Lachlan [9] proved the existence of a c.e. a > 0 which has no c.e. sp...

How enumeration reducibility yields extended Harrington non-splitting

Sacks [14] showed that every computably enumerable (c.e.) degree > 0 has a c.e. splitting. Hence, relativising, every c.e. degree has a Δ2 splitting above each proper predecessor (by ‘splitting’ we understand ‘nontrivial splitting’). Arslanov [1] showed that 0′ has a d.c.e. splitting above each c.e. a < 0′. On the other hand, Lachlan [9] proved the existence of a c.e. a > 0 which has no c.e. sp...

On the distribution of Lachlan nonsplitting bases

We say that a computably enumerable (c.e.) degree b is a Lachlan nonsplitting base (LNB), if there is a computably enumerable degree a such that a > b, and for any c.e. degrees w,v ≤ a, if a ≤ w ∨ v ∨ b then either a ≤ w ∨ b or a ≤ v ∨ b. In this paper we investigate the relationship between bounding and nonbounding of Lachlan nonsplitting bases and the high /low hierarchy. We prove that there ...

A Nonlow2 C.e. Degree Which Bounds No Diamond Bases

A computably enumerable (c.e.) Turing degree is a diamond base if and only if it is the bottom of a diamond of c.e. degrees with top 0′. Cooper and Li [3] showed that no low2 c.e. degree can bound a diamond bases. In the present paper, we show that there exists a nonlow2 c.e. degree which does not bound a diamond base. Thus, we refute an attractive natural attempt to define the jump class low2.

Splitting and nonsplitting in the Σ20 enumeration degrees

This paper continues the project, initiated in [ACK], of describing general conditions under which relative splittings are derivable in the local structure of the enumeration degrees, for which the Ershov hierarchy provides an informative setting. The main results below include a proof that any high total e-degree below 0′ e is splittable over any low e-degree below it, a non-cupping result in ...
