Are Cohen Generics Minimal Covers?

Are Cohen generics (in $2^\omega$) minimal covers? I'm ultimately interested in this question for some more effective notion of forcing but I realized I wasn't sure how to show this even assuming full …

Name For Effective Cantor-Bendixsonish Derivitive

When dealing with a tree (substring closed subset of $\omega^{< \omega})$ a useful operation will frequently be to remove any nodes with finite ordinal rank (i.e., all nodes whose extensions on the tr …

Extending polynomial hierarchy above $\omega$

The arithmetic hierarchy is naturally extended to all ordinals via ordinal notations creating a hierarchy for all hyperarithmetic sets. The polynomial time hierarchy is defined analogously to the ari …

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 constructio …

Properties of all relatively computable branches

I'm probably just missing something obvious but suppose that $T \subset 2^{< \omega}$ is a perfect tree with no terminal nodes (what about just $[T]$ non-empty?). If $Y \leq_{T} X$ for all $X \in [ …

Properties of all relatively computable branches

Dan's idea above is good but he made a tiny mistake that left $T$ non-perfect so I figured I'd fix that and at the same time give a solution that doesn't use machinery from randomness. Build r.e sets …

Lower Bound of Solutions to P=NP?

Do we at least know that simulating polynomial time non-deterministic Turing machines requires more than a linear slowdown? That is, do we know there is some non-deterministic Turing machine with so …

Why does Weihrauch reducibility make use of multi-functions?

This is probably a kinda dumb question, but why is Weihrauch reducibility defined in terms of multi-functions (i.e. why isn't it just the degree structure of regular functions under that reducibility) …

A $\Pi^0_1$ class of $\alpha$-subgenerics for all $\alpha < w_1^{CK}$

In Harrington's mimeographed notes (see here) solving McLaughlin's conjecture he builds reals $f \in \omega^\omega$ which have the property of being $\alpha$-subgeneric defined as follows. He does th …

Hyperarithmetically least elements in $\Pi^1_1$ sets

I'm pretty sure the claim isn't even true for every $\Pi^0_1$ class (working in $\omega^\omega$ or $\Pi^0_2$ if working in $2^\omega$). It's well known that one can produce a recursive tree in $\omeg …

Complexity implications on computability

Are there any known links between complexity theory and computability theory by which I mean non-trivial theorems of the form: If NP $\neq$ co-NP then there is no strong minimal pair of r.e. sets or w …

Splitting $\Pi^0_2$ Singletons?

Given a (non-computable) $\Pi^0_2$ singleton $Y$ are there Turing incomparable $\Pi^0_2$ singletons $X_0, X_1$ with $Y \equiv_T X_0 \oplus X_1$? What about the same question for arithmetic reducibilit …

A $\Pi^0_1$ class of $\alpha$-subgenerics for all $\alpha < w_1^{CK}$

So I emailed back and forth with Leo about this and, after the usual part where I drag the conversation into confusion by getting overly specific, I believe I understand how this is supposed to work. …

Harrington's notes on McLaughlin/Arithmetically incomparable singletons

At one point I had copies of the handwritten notes Leo created about the McLaughlin conjecture and I know a similar set of notes exist titled Arithmetically incomparable arithmetic singletons. I've s …

Harrington's notes on McLaughlin/Arithmetically incomparable singletons

Thanks to the individual who helped me out (not sure if they want to be publicly identified). Since I'm sure Leo wouldn't mind I'm posting a link to the McLaughlin notes here (I'll add the other one …
