Where Pigeonhole Principles meet K\"onig Lemmas

Logic 2019-12-10 v1

Abstract

We study the pigeonhole principle for Σ2\Sigma_2-definable injections with domain twice as large as the codomain, and the weak K\"onig lemma for Δ20\Delta^0_2-definable trees in which every level has at least half of the possible nodes. We show that the latter implies the existence of 22-random reals, and is conservative over the former. We also show that the former is strictly weaker than the usual pigeonhole principle for Σ2\Sigma_2-definable injections.
