A fixed point for the jump operator on structures

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: Assuming that exists, we prove that there is a structure that can effectively interpret its own jump. In particular, we get a structure mathcalA such that [ Sp({mathcal A}) = {{�f x}':{�f x}in Sp ({mathcal A})}, ] where Sp(mathcalA) is the set of Turing degrees which compute a copy of mathcalA. It turns out that, more interesting than the result itself, is its unexpected complexity. We prove that higher-order arithmetic, which is the union of full nth-order arithmetic for all n, cannot prove the existence of such a structure.
