A typical way of analyzing the time complexity of functional programs is to extract a recurrence expressing the running time of the program in terms of the size of its input, and then to solve the recurrence to obtain a big-O bound. For…

Many constructions in computability theory rely on "time tricks". In the higher setting, relativising to some oracles shows the necessity of these. We construct an oracle~$A$ and a set~$X$, higher Turing reducible to~$X$, but for which…
