A real X is n-generic relative to some perfect tree if there exists such a T. We first show that for every number n all but countably many reals are n-generic relative to some perfect tree. Second, we show that proving this statement requires ZFC^- + ``There exist infinitely many iterates of the power set of the natural numbers''. Third, we prove that every finite iterate of the hyperjump, O^(n), is not 2-generic relative to any perfect tree and for every ordinal alpha below the least lambda such that sup_{beta < lambda} (beta th admissible) = lambda, the iterated hyperjump O^(alpha) is not 5-generic relative to any perfect tree. Finally, we demonstrate some necessary conditions for reals to be 1-generic relative to some perfect tree.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2007-11-01T20:46:11.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "03D99" ], "keywords": [ "perfect tree", "reals n-generic relative", "beta th", "necessary conditions", "ordinal alpha" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 12, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2006math.....10306A" } } }
