ON THE DECIDABILITY OF THE ${{\rm{\Sigma }}_2}$ THEORIES OF THE ARITHMETIC AND HYPERARITHMETIC DEGREES AS UPPERSEMILATTICES.

We establish the decidability of the ${{\rm{\Sigma }}_2}$ theory of both the arithmetic and hyperarithmetic degrees in the language of uppersemilattices, i.e., the language with ≤, 0 , and $\sqcup$. This is achieved by using Kumabe-Slaman forcing, along with other known results, to show given finite...

Sumario:We establish the decidability of the ${{\rm{\Sigma }}_2}$ theory of both the arithmetic and hyperarithmetic degrees in the language of uppersemilattices, i.e., the language with ≤, 0 , and $\sqcup$. This is achieved by using Kumabe-Slaman forcing, along with other known results, to show given finite uppersemilattices ${\cal M}$ and ${\cal N}$, where ${\cal M}$ is a subuppersemilattice of ${\cal N}$, that every embedding of ${\cal M}$ into either degree structure extends to one of ${\cal N}$ iff ${\cal N}$ is an end-extension of ${\cal M}$.
