The Rice-Shapiro Theorem [4] says that the index set of a class of recursively enumerable (r.e.) sets is r.e. if and only if consists of all sets which extend an element of a canonically enumerable sequence of finite sets. If an index of a difference of r.e. (d.r.e.) sets is defined to be the pair of indices of the r.e. sets of which it is the difference, then the following generalization due to Hay [3] is obtained: The index set of a class of d.r.e. sets is d.r.e. if and only if is empty or consists of all sets which extend a single fixed finite set. In that paper Hay also classifies index sets of classes consisting of d.r.e. sets which extend one of a finite collection of finite sets. These sets turn out to be finite Boolean combinations of r.e. sets. The question then arises “What about the classification of the index set of a class consisting of d.r.e. sets which extend an element of a canonically enumerable sequence of finite sets?” The results in this paper come from an attempt to answer this question.Since classes of sets which are Boolean combinations of r.e. sets form a hierarchy (the finite Ershov hierarchy, see Ershov [1]) with the r.e. and d.r.e. sets respectively levels 1 and 2 of this hierarchy, we may define index sets of classes of level n sets. If is a class of level n sets which extend some element of a canonically enumerable sequence of finite sets and if we let co-, then we extend the original classification question to the classification of the index sets of the classes and co-.Now if the sequence of finite sets enumerates only finitely many sets or if only finitely many of the finite sets are minimal under inclusion, then it is a routine computation to verify that the index sets of and co- are in the finite Ershov hierarchy. Thus we are interested in the case in which infinitely many of the sequence of finite sets are minimal under inclusion. However if the infinite sequence is fairly simple, for instance{0}, {1}, {2}, … then the r.e. index set of co- is Σ20-complete as well as the index sets of and co- for all levels n > 2. Since the finite Ershov hierarchy does not exhaust ⊿20 there is a lot of “room” between these two extreme cases.

Let {Wk}k ≥ 0 be a standard enumeration of all recursively enumerable (r.e.) sets. If A is any class of r.e. sets, let θA denote the index set of A, i.e., θA = {k ∣ Wk ∈ A}. The one-one degrees of index sets form a partial order ℐ which is a proper subordering of the partial order of all one-one degrees. Denote by ⌀ the one-one degree of the empty set, and, if b is the one-one degree of θB, denote by the one-one degree of . Let . Let {Ym}m≥0 be the sequence of index sets of nonempty finite classes of finite sets (classified in [5] and independently, in [2]) and denote by am the one-one degree of Ym. As shown in [2], these degrees are complete at each level of the difference hierarchy generated by the r.e. sets. It was proved in [3] that, for each m ≥ 0,(a) am+1 and ām+1 are incomparable immediate successors of am and ām, and(b) .For m = 0, since Y0 = θ{⌀}, it follows from (a) that(c) .Hence it follows that(d) {⌀, , ao, ā0, a1, ā1 is an initial segment of ℐ.

Two of the basic theorems in the classification of index sets of classes of recursively enumerable (r.e.) sets are the following:(i) The index set of a class C of r.e. sets is recursive if and only if C is empty or contains all r.e. sets; and(ii) the index set of a class C or r.e. sets is recursively enumerable if and only if C is empty or consists of all r.e. sets which extend some element of a canonically enumerable class of finite sets.The first theorem is due to Rice [7, p. 364, Corollary B]. The second was conjectured by Rice [7, p. 361] and proved independently by McNaughton, Shapiro, and Myhill [6].

In [3] Hay proves generalizations of Rice's Theorem and the Rice-Shapiro Theorem for differences of recursively enumerable sets (d.r.e. sets). The original Rice Theorem [5, p. 3G4, Corollary B] says that the index set of a class C of r.e. sets is recursive if and only if C is empty or C contains all r.e. sets. The Rice-Shapiro Theorem conjectured by Rice [5] and proved independently by McNaughton, Shapiro, and Myhill [4] says that the index set of a class C of r.e. sets is r.e. if and only if C is empty or C consists of all r.e. sets which extend some element of a canonically enumerable class of finite sets. Since a d.r.e. set is a difference of r.e. sets, a d.r.e. set has an index associated with it, namely, the pair of indices of the r.e. sets of which it is the difference.

The two results of this paper (a theorem and an example) are applications of a device described in section 1. Our notation is that of [4], with which we assume familiarity. It may be worth while to mention in particular the function Φ(n, x) which recursively enumerates the partial recursive functions of one variable, the Cantor enumerating functions J(x, y), K(x), L(x), and the classes F and Q of r.e. (recursively enumerable) and finite sets respectively.It is possible to “give” a finite set in a way which conveys the maximum amount of information; this may be called “giving explicitly”, and it requires that in addition to an effective enumeration or decision procedure for the set we give its cardinal number. It is sometimes desired to enumerate effectively an infinite class of finite sets, each given explicitly (e.g., [4] p. 360, or Dekker [1] p. 497), and we suggest here a device for doing this.We set up an effective one-to-one correspondence between the finite sets of non-negative integers and these integers themselves: the integer , corresponds to the set αi, = {a1, a2, …, an} and inversely. α0 is the empty set. Clearly i can be effectively computed from the elements of αi and its cardinal number.

Let A = {ai} be a finite set of integers and let p and m denote the cardinalities of A + A = {ai+aj} and A - A {ai–aj}, respectively. In the paper relations are established between p and m; in particular, if max {ai–ai-1} = 2 those sets are characterized for which p = m holds.

The characterization of classes of r.e. sets by their index sets has proved valuable in producing new results about the r.e. sets and degrees. The classic example is Yates' proof [5, Theorem 7] of Sacks' density theorem for r.e. degrees using his classification of {e: We ≤TD) as Σ3(D) whenever D is r.e. Theorem 1 of this paper is a refinement of this index set theorem of Yates which has already proved to have interesting consequences about the r.e. degrees. This theorem was originally announced by Kallibekov [1, Theorem 1]. Kallibekov there proposed a new and ingenious method for doing priority arguments which has also since been used by Kinber [2]. Unfortunately his proof to this particular theorem contains an error. We have a totally different proof using standard techniques which is of independent interest.The proof to Theorem 1 is an infinite injury priority argument. In §1 therefore we give a short summary of the infinite injury priority method. We draw heavily on the exposition of Soare [4] where a complete description of the method is given along with many examples. In §2 we prove the main theorem and also give what we think are the most interesting corollaries to this theorem announced by Kallibekov. In §3 we prove a theorem about Σ3 sets of indices of r.e. sets. This theorem is a strengthening of a theorem of Kinber [2, Theorem 1] which was proved using a modification of Kallibekov's technique. As application, we use our theorem to show that an r.e. set A has supersets of every r.e. degree iff A is not simple.

Let q0, q1,… be a standard enumeration of all partial recursive functions of one variable. For each i, let wi = range qi and for any recursively enumerable (r.e.) set α, let θα = {n | wn = α}. If A is a class of r.e. sets, let θA = the index set of A = {n | wn ∈ A}. It is the purpose of this paper to classify the possible recursive isomorphism types of index sets of finite classes of r.e. sets. The main theorem will also provide an answer to the question left open in [2] concerning the possible double isomorphism types of pairs (θα, θβ) where α ⊂ β.

We classify the twisted tensor products of a finite set algebra with a two elements set algebra using colored quivers obtained through considerations analogous to Ore extensions. This provides also a classification of entwining structures between a finite set algebra and the grouplike coalgebra on two elements. The resulting 2-nilpotent algebras have particular features with respect to Hochschild (co)homology and cyclic homology.

AbstractWe study the outer $$L^p$$ L p spaces introduced by Do and Thiele on sets endowed with a measure and an outer measure. We prove that, in the case of finite sets, for $$1< p \leqslant \infty , 1 \leqslant r < \infty $$ 1 < p ⩽ ∞ , 1 ⩽ r < ∞ or $$p=r \in \{ 1, \infty \}$$ p = r ∈ { 1 , ∞ } , the outer $$L^p_\mu (\ell ^r)$$ L μ p ( ℓ r ) quasi-norms are equivalent to norms up to multiplicative constants uniformly in the cardinality of the set. This is obtained by showing the expected duality properties between the corresponding outer $$L^p_\mu (\ell ^r)$$ L μ p ( ℓ r ) spaces uniformly in the cardinality of the set. Moreover, for $$p=1, 1 < r \leqslant \infty $$ p = 1 , 1 < r ⩽ ∞ , we exhibit a counterexample to the uniformity in the cardinality of the finite set. We also show that in the upper half space setting the desired properties hold true in the full range $$1 \leqslant p,r \leqslant \infty $$ 1 ⩽ p , r ⩽ ∞ . These results are obtained via greedy decompositions of functions in the outer $$L^p_\mu (\ell ^r)$$ L μ p ( ℓ r ) spaces. As a consequence, we establish the equivalence between the classical tent spaces $$T^p_r$$ T r p and the outer $$L^p_\mu (\ell ^r)$$ L μ p ( ℓ r ) spaces in the upper half space. Finally, we give a full classification of weak and strong type estimates for a class of embedding maps to the upper half space with a fractional scale factor for functions on $$\mathbb {R}^d$$ R d .

Let {Wi} be a standard enumeration of all recursively enumerable (r.e.) sets, and for any class A of r.e. sets, let θA denote the index set of A = {n ∣ Wn ∈ A}. (Clearly, .) In [1], the index sets of nonempty finite classes of finite sets were classified under one-one reducibility into an increasing sequence {Ym}, 0 ≤ m < ∞. In this paper we examine further properties of this sequence within the partial ordering of one-one degrees of index sets. The main results are as follows: (1) For each m, Ym < Ym + 1 and < Ym + 1; (2) Ym is incomparable to ; (3) Ym + 1 and ; are immediate successors (among index sets) of Ym and m; (4) the pair (Ym + 1, ) is a “least upper bound” for the pair (Ym, ) in the sense that any successor of both Ym and is ≥ Ym + 1or; (5) the pair (Ym, ) is a “greatest lower bound” for the pair (Ym + 1, ) in the sense that any predecessor of both Ym + 1 and is ≤ Ym or . Since and all Ym are in the bounded truth-table degree of K, this yields some local information about the one-one degrees of index sets which are “at the bottom” in the one-one ordering of index sets.
