Conservation Strength of The Infinite Pigeonhole Principle for Trees

Logic 2021-10-13 v1 Combinatorics

Abstract

Let TT1\mathsf{TT}^1 be the combinatorial principle stating that every finite coloring of the infinite full binary tree has a homogeneous isomorphic subtree. Let RT22\mathsf{RT}^2_2 and WKL0\mathsf{WKL}_0 denote respectively the principles of Ramsey's theorem for pairs and weak K\"onig's lemma. It is proved that TT1+RT22+WKL0\mathsf{TT}^1+\mathsf{RT}^2_2+\mathsf{WKL}_0 is Π30\Pi^0_3-conservative over the base system RCA0\mathsf{RCA}_0. Thus over RCA0\mathsf{RCA}_0, TT1\mathsf{TT}^1 and Ramsey's theorem for pairs prove the same Π30\Pi^0_3-sentences.
