| Abstract |
|---|
For a pseudojump VX and a
class P, we consider properties of the set {VX:X
P}.We show that if P is Medvedev complete or if P has positive measure, and Ø'
T C, then there exists X
P with VX
T C. We examine the consequences when VX is Turing incomparable with VY for X
Y in P and when
for all X, Y
P. Finally, we give a characterization of the jump in terms of
classes.
