On Mathias generic sets

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We present some results about generics for computable Mathias forcing. The n-generics and weak n-generics in this setting form a strict hierarchy as in the case of Cohen forcing. We analyze the complexity of the Mathias forcing relation, and show that if G is any n-generic with ngeq3 then it satisfies the jump property G(n−1)=G′oplusemptyset(n). We prove that every such G has generalized high degree, and so cannot have even Cohen 1-generic degree. On the other hand, we show that G, together with any bi-immune set AleqTemptyset(n−1), computes a Cohen n-generic set.
