Abstract
The Erd\H{o}s-Moser theorem says that every infinite tournament admits an infinite transitive subtournament. We study the computational behavior of the Erd\H{o}s-Moser theorem with respect to the arithmetic hierarchy, and prove that instances of admit low solutions for every , and that if a set is not arithmetical, then every instance of admits a solution relative to which is still not arithmetical. We also provide a level-wise refinement of this theorem. These results are part of a larger program of computational study of combinatorial theorems in Reverse Mathematics.
