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 …

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 …

What is the least $\alpha$ such that $L_\alpha$ contains a non-measurable set
What is the least level of the constructable hierarchy that contains a non-measurable (Lebesgue) subset of $2^\omega$. If it makes a difference assume we are working inside L (V=L).
I'm pretty sure it …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

Standard terminology for node in tree with multiple children
Is there a standard terminology for a node in a tree that has multiple children?
For instance, in describing in perfect tree in $\omega^{< \omega}$ how would you describe the nodes that are extended b …

Can this naïve-like set theory using acyclic membership be consistent?
I misread comprehension the first time. Now that I understand it correctly can't you construct the standard Russell set:
$\phi(y) = \lnot y \in^{*} y$
So let's ask if the resulting $x$ satisfies $x \ …

Is set of the indices of c.e.sets that cover a productive set also productive one?
No, it isn't. This is a consequence of the fact that we have a choice of infinitely many equivalent indices for each c.e. set. Let $E$ be a set of indices such that
$$(e, j \in E \land e \neq j) \i …

On Applications of Forcing in Domain Theory
Note that forcing techniques are frequently used in computability theory, e.g., to establish the existence of degrees with certain properties. I refer the reader to Odifreddi's Handbook of Computabil …

In my opinion one of the best examples of a physical statement depending on a mathematically independent statement is provided by Malament-Hogarth machines (You can find a bunch of other links just by …

In NBG (ZFC + classes) if $P$ nonempty predicate of classes must $P$ have definable solution?
Let $A, B, C..X, Y$ range over potentially proper classes in NBG set theory (or adding class quantification to ZFC in obvious way) and $x,y,z$ range over sets.
Since I don't know the proper symbols …

Definition of HYP in $L_{\omega_1^{CK}}[a]$?
The structure $L_{\omega_1^{CK}}$ consists of only HYP sets (I believe) and HYP in this structure is the same as the actual hyperaritmetic sets. Now if I move to the structure $L_{\omega_1^{CK}}[a]$ …
