Abstract

SJT reducibility between sets A,BNA,B \subseteq \mathbb N is defined by ASJTBA \le_{SJT} B if for each computable function hh that is unbounded and nondecreasing, there is an hh-bounded uniformly BB-c.e.\ trace (Tn)nN(T_n)_{n \in \mathbb N} such that for each nn, the value JA(n)J^A(n) of the jump is in TnT_n, if defined. This reducibility is slightly weaker than Turing reducibility. We study SJT reducibility, and as a main result give several characterisations of it on the KK-trivial sets. This is the first case of extending the three lowness paradigms, weak as an oracle, computed by many, and inert, to the setting of weak reducibilities.
