$\Pi^0_2$ singleton of minimal arithmetic degree?

Is it known if there is a $\Pi^0_2$ singleton of minimal arithmetic degree? To elaborate a bit, this is asking whether there is a non-arithmetic set $X$ such that for any $Y$ arithmetic in $X$ either ...

Direct construction of an arithmetically high degree below $0^{(\omega)}$

The existence of a high arithmetic degree (meaning the degrees induced by the notion of relative arithmetic definability) below $0^\omega$ can be established by using Harrington/Simpson's ...

Is $0^{\omega}$ a minimal cover of a minimal arithmetic degree?

Is there a minimal arithmetic degree $d <_a 0^{\omega}$ such that $0^{\omega}$ is a minimal cover of $d$ in the arithmetic degrees? [1] While whether or not $0^{\omega}$ is a minimal cover at all (...

Are the $\omega$-generic arithmetic degrees downward closed

A degree is $\alpha$-generic if it has representative that is $\alpha$-generic. Are the $\omega$-generic arithmetic degrees (i.e. the degree structure induced by arithmetic reproducibility) downward ...

Base of cone of arithmetic minimal covers

By Borel determinacy (exercisce XIII.1.7 in Odifreddi) there is a cone of minimal covers in the arithmetic degrees. Is the base of such a cone known? A minimal such base? For that matter, is it even ...

No arithmetic degree that always joins to arithmetic minimal cover

Is there (I strongly presume not but not seeing how to show it) a (non-zero) arithmetic degree $a$ such that for all arithmetic degrees $e \not\geq_a a$ we have $e \oplus a$ is a minimal cover of $e$ ...
