A $wtt$-introimmune set in \texorpdfstring{$\Pi^0_1$}{Pi01} and introimmunity for several reducibilities
Abstract
We prove that there exists a weak truth-table introimmune set in the class , settling the question left open in previous work of whether the known existence result can be improved to . Since sets cannot be immune, this is best possible for weak truth-table introimmunity. We also study introimmunity for Jockusch's bounded-search reducibility and Andersen's Dartmouth reducibility , proving the existence of sets that are -introimmune and -introimmune; hence there also exists a -introimmune set. We next consider the classical reducibility , which is not contained in on all subsets of . We show that no infinite set is -introimmune, while a -introimmune set does exist. Thus the existence of -introimmune sets is best possible within the arithmetical hierarchy. Finally, for enumeration reducibility , we show that no infinite set is -introimmune, although -introimmune sets do exist in the unrestricted sense. The proofs combine finite-injury priority arguments with dynamic spacing methods for , , and , a bit-by-bit finite-extension construction for , and an application of Soare's abstract existence theorem in the enumeration case.
