Church’s Thesis in the ω1-Setting...

RemarkFor simplifying reasons, we assume V = L.

As a consequence, we have R ⊂ L(ω1) and ℵ1 = 2ℵ0 .

Theorem (Kripke; Platek; Sacks)The following are equivalent for a set A ⊆ ω1:

The set A is decidable by a Turing Machine with a tape oflength ω1 and for which halting computations are allowed to run forcountably many steps.Membership in A can be deduced in countably many steps frombasic axioms in a reasonable deduction calculus.The set A is ∆0

1-definable over L(ω1) with parameters.

Computably Enumerable Sets...

DefinitionA set S ⊂ ω is computably enumerable if it is Σ0

1.

A set S ⊂ ω is computable if both S and S are computablyenumerable. A (partial) function f is computable if its graph iscomputably enumerable. A structure S is computable if the relationsand functions on it are uniformly computable.

DefinitionA set S ⊆ Lα is α-computably enumerable if it is Σ0

1(Lα).

A set S ⊆ Lα is α-computable if both S and S are α-computablyenumerable. A (partial) function f is α-computable if its graph isα-computably enumerable. A structure S is α-computable if therelations and functions on it are uniformly α-computable.

The Uncountable Setting...

RemarkWhen developing computability theory with larger ordinals, attention isnormally restricted to admissible limit ordinals. Recall every successorcardinal is an admissible ordinal.

ConventionHenceforth, we (almost exclusively) restrict attention to when α is ω1.Thus, the term uncountable refers to objects of size ℵ1 (not larger).

RemarkTwo ideas are worth emphasizing:

Computations halt in countably many stages or run foruncountably many stages.Finite in ω-computability is similar to countable in ω1-computability;infinite in ω-computability is similar to uncountable inω1-computability.

Dense Linear Orders

DefinitionDenote by η (also η0) the (unique) countable order type for which, forall sets A,B ⊂ η with |A|, |B| < ℵ0 and A < B, there are points x , y ,and z with x < A < y < B < z.

RemarkNote the familiar definition requires |A| = 1 and |B| = 1. These areequivalent as maximums and minimums of finite sets always exist.

DefinitionDenote by η1 the (unique) uncountable order type for which, for all setsA,B ⊂ η1 with |A|, |B| < ℵ1 and A < B, there are points x , y , and z withx < A < y < B < z.

Dense Linear Orders

DefinitionDenote by ρ the order type of the real numbers, i.e., the completion ofthe order type η.

RemarkWe view ω ⊂ η ⊂ ρ as an artifact of N ⊂ Q ⊂ R.

Note ρ 6∼= η1. For example, take A = {0} and B = {q ∈ η : q > 0}.Alternately, take B = {q ∈ η}.

RemarkAs a consequence of the V = L assumption, we have |ρ| = ℵ1.

A Pseudo-Transfer Theorem...

Proof (⇐=).Given an a-computable presentation of Lt , let K := Succ(Lt ). Then Kis a′-computable and has order type L under the induced order.
