Abstract: This paper is a contribution to the growing investigation of strong reducibilities between Pi21 statements of second-order arithmetic, viewed as an extension of the traditional analysis of reverse mathematics. We answer several questions of Hirschfeldt and Jockusch (to appear) about uniform and strong computable reductions between various combinatorial principles related to Ramsey's theorem for pairs. Among other results, we establish that the principle mathsfSRT22 is not uniformly or strongly computably reducible to mathsfD<infty2, that mathsfCOH is not uniformly reducible to mathsfD<infty2, and that mathsfCOH is not strongly reducible to mathsfD22. The latter also extends a prior result of Dzhafarov (2015). We introduce a number of new techniques for controlling the combinatorial and computability-theoretic properties of the problems and solutions we construct in our arguments.
