Extract

The strong homogeneity conjecture asserts that, for any Turing degree, a, there is a jump preserving isomorphism from the upper semilattice of degrees to the upper semilattice of degrees above a. Rogers [3, p. 261] states that this problem is open and notes that its truth would simplify many proofs about degrees. It is, in fact, false. More precisely, let 0 be the smallest degree and let 0(n) be the nth iterated jump of 0, as defined in [3, pp. 254–256].
