Game Characterizations and Lower Cones in the Weihrauch Degrees

We introduce generalized Wadge games and show that each lower cone in the Weihrauch degrees is characterized by such a game. These generalized Wadge games subsume the original Wadge games, the eraser and backtrack games as well as variants of Semmes’ tree games. As a new example we introduce the tree derivative games which characterize all even finite levels of the Baire hierarchy, and a variant characterizing the odd finite levels.
