Decidability of 3 body problem

Is there a result showing that something along the lines of the three body problem is undecidable? Or are they known to be decidable or neither? I mean problems along the lines of the following formu …

Good source for admissible set theory?

So I need to writeup some old results of Harrington's which imply various results about admissible ordinals. I've never really learned admissible recursion theory so what's a good reference?

Join Density in R.E. Degrees: Are there r.e. B, C with all r.e. X below B computable or C jo...

Are there r.e. sets $B >_T 0$ and $C >_T 0$, $C \not\geq_T B$ such that for all r.e. $W \leq_T B$ either $W \leq_T 0$ or $C \oplus W \geq_T B$. The explanation for the title is because one can think …

2-REA PA degrees

Remember that an n-REA set is a set of the form $A_0 \oplus A_1 \oplus \cdots \oplus A_n$ with $A_n$ relatively r.e. in $A_m, m<n$ (so $A_0$ is r.e.) and that a degree is PA just if it computes a path …

$\Pi^0_2$ 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 …

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) …

Reference for a "recursive" fragment of infinitary logic?

Yes, these are called computable infinitary formulas. I recommend the following references (as a matter of taste I prefer them to Barwise...don't remember why...possibly just it's more canonical in m …

$\omega$-models of $\mathbf{\Sigma^1_1}-DC$ and $\mathbf{\Delta^1_1}-CA$

So what is needed to demonstrate something (say like $L_{\omega_1^{CK}}[a]$ is a $\omega$-models of $\mathbf{\Sigma^1_1}$-$DC$ or $\mathbf{\Delta^1_1}$-$CA$? It's not like I don't understand what the …

Is $0^{(\omega)}$ a minimal cover in the arithmetic degrees

Is it known if $0^{(\omega)}$ a minimal cover in the arithmetic degrees? In the Turing degrees to show that $0'$ (indeed $0^{(n)}$) isn't a minimal cover one uses the density of r.e. degrees. Howeve …

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 …

Given B,C incomplete, incomparable r.e. sets must C compute low r.e. set avoiding cone below...

I feel like there must be a classical result answering this question (or easily modified to do so) but a quick flip through Soare didn't produce anything so rather than waste time I figured I'd just a …

Does every cuppable r.e. set cup with a low set?

Remember, that an incomplete r.e. set $A$ is cuppable if there is an incomplete r.e. set $B$ such that $A\oplus B \equiv_T 0'$. It's relatively easy to build a low cuppable set but my question is whe …

Complexity implications on computability

Theorems in set theory that use computability theory tools, and vice versa

My favorite are the results in computability theory that rely on Martin's cone theorem (if A is sufficiently definable degree invariant set (Certainly if Borel but I think more) then either A or it's …
