FOM: 104:Turing Degrees/3

This is the third installment about Turing Degrees planned for FOM.

We begin by correcting some statements made in #102.

a. We used the terminology "spread apart" in section 2. As is clear from
context, we mean that "n degrees are spread apart" if and only if the jump
of each degree is recursive in the next.

b. At the very end of section 2, we wrote

>We can also equally well use "any two finite initial segments of the same
>length are arithmetically equivalent".

This is false. See below after this list of corrections.

c. We wrote:

>PROPOSITION 9. There exists d1 << d2 << ... such that d1,d2,... =A
>d2,d3,...  . There exists an omega sequence of degrees such that any two
>omega subsequences are arithmetically equivalent.

Theorem 10 indicates the strength of these two statements. But the first
statement in Proposition 9 is too weak (roughly at the level of Zermelo set
theory). Here is the corrected version that supports Theorem 10..

PROPOSITION 9. There exists d1 << d2 << ... such that d1,d2,d3,... =A
d1,d3,d4,...  . There exists an omega sequence of degrees such that any two
omega subsequences are arithmetically equivalent.

NEW STATEMENT ABOUT TURING DEGREES CORRESPONDING TO ROUGHLY ZERMELO SET THEORY

Here is the new Sigma-1-1 statement.

THEOREM 1. Some degree is arithmetically equivalent to its jump.

THEOREM 2. Theorem 1 is provable in Zermelo set theory but not in Zermelo
set theory with bounded separation.

Of course, "some degree is arithmetically equivalent to all higher degrees"
also works, but is Sigma-1-2.

Note that from Theorem 1, we get d1 << d2 << ... such that any two finite
initial segments of the same length are arithmetically equivalent. Also,
from a slight extension of Theorem 1, still roughly at the level of Z, we
get d1,d2,... =A d2,d3,... by taking di = the i-th jump of d.

THEOREM 3. It is provable in ACA that "some degree is arithmetically
equivalent to its jump" implies the existence of an omega model of Zermelo
set theory with bounded separation but follows from the existence of an
omega model of Zermelo set theory.
