In this paper, we study the infinite pigeonhole principle from a computability-theoretic viewpoint. We prove in particular that $\\mathsf{RT}^1_2$ admits strong cone avoidance for arithmetical and hyperarithmetical reductions. We also prove the existence, for every $\\Delta^0_n$ set, of an infinite low${}_n$ subset of it or its complement. This answers a question of Wang. For this, we design a new notion of forcing which generalizes the first and second-jump control of Cholak, Jockusch and Slaman.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-05-21T03:29:46.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "hyperarithmetical reductions", "infinite pigeonhole principle", "admits strong cone avoidance", "infinite subset", "complement" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 32, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
