Sets meeting and avoiding computable sets

$X$ is hesive iff $X$ is bi-immune. Jockusch showed that a Sacks generic has bi-immune-free degree. Jockusch, C. G. Jr., The degrees of bi-immune sets, Z. Math. Logik Grundlagen Math. 15, 135-140 (196 …

Join-like operation and Medvedev reducibility

Let $\mathcal C, \mathcal D\subseteq 2^\omega$. Let $$ \DeclareMathOperator{\Either}{Either} \Either(\mathcal C,\mathcal D)=\{A\oplus B: \text{either }A\in \mathcal C, B\in\mathcal D\text{, or }B\ …

How did the Baker-Gill-Solovay paper come to be?

Apparently, we would have gotten at least half of the BGS result without any of the three named authors and also without any of the 4 people they credit, all we needed was Dekhtiar. 😊 The Annals of t …

Finding 1-generic paths through a tree $T \subseteq 2^{<\omega}$

What conditions can we impose on $T$ that guarantee $[T]$ contains a 1-generic member? An element that is 1-generic relative to $T$ will not be on $[T]$ unless $[T]$ contains a whole clopen cone $[\ …

Is the collection of primitive recursive functions a lower set in the poset of computable fu...

No. Let $g$ be the constant function 1. Let $\{h_n\}$ be a computable list of all primitive recursive functions and let $f_n(x)=\min(h_n(x),1)$. So $\{f_n\}$ is a computable list of all primitive recu …

Do all non-computable functions grow faster than computable functions?

Let $f(x)=1$ if we can write $x=2^a3^b$ where $BB(a)=b$, and $f(x)=0$ otherwise. This $f$ is also noncomputable, and takes values only in $\{0,1\}$.

Variously pointed closed sets

Let $\mu$ be a measure on $2^\omega$ which doesn't have a least Turing degree. This exists by Theorem 4.2 of Day, Adam R.; Miller, Joseph S., Randomness for non-computable measures, Trans. Am. Ma …

Downward density of w-REA sets under arithmetic reducibility?

Probably still open. James Barnes' dissertation (2018) addresses initial segments under the arithmetic reducibility, but is not specifically about $\omega$-CEA degrees. Barnes, James S., On the deci …

Correct Proof Of ZBC Theorem From Odifreddi? Also Extension Question

A proof of Harrington’s ZBC Lemma can be found in Theorem 2.5 of Hinman, Peter G.; Slaman, Theodore A., Jump embeddings in the Turing degrees, J. Symb. Log. 56, No. 2, 563-591 (1991). ZBL0745.03036. …

What non-standard model of arithmetic does Hofstadter reference in GEB?

My first guess is that the triples come from the fact that nonstandard countable models of PA look like $$\mathbb N + \mathbb Z\times\mathbb Q$$ and elements of $\mathbb Q$ can be represented by pairs …

$\newcommand\PA{\mathit{PA}}$Let's note that this is not a question of whether Collatz is undecidable. The statement $\neg\mathrm{Con}(\PA)$ is undecidable (by $\PA$, assuming $PA$ is consistent) but …

Automorphism group of the Turing degrees

Let $p_i$ denote the $i$th prime number, and let $\oplus$ be the recursive join on $\omega$. Let $\mathcal O$ be Kleene's $\Pi^1_1$-complete set and $\mathcal O'$ its Turing jump. For any $B$, let $G …

Name for "partially complete" invariants in classification problems?

It seems totally fine. Maybe instead of "complete over $C'$" use "complete for $C'$" or "complete invariant of path graphs".

Different notions of computable binary sequence

You can look at automatic structures, replacing Turing machines by finite automata. In that setting, the whole first order theory is decidable (in particular you can add existential quantifiers like y …
