OPTIMAL RESULTS ON RECOGNIZABILITY FOR INFINITE TIME REGISTER MACHINES
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 22 December 2015
Abstract
Exploring further the properties of ITRM-recognizable reals started in [1], we provide a detailed analysis of recognizable reals and their distribution in Gödels constructible universe L. In particular, we show that new unrecognizable reals are generated at every index $\gamma \, \ge \,\omega _\omega ^{CK}$. We give a machine-independent characterization of recognizability by proving that a real r is recognizable if and only if it is ${\Sigma _1}$-definable over ${L_{\omega _\omega ^{CK,\,r}}}$ and that $r\, \in \,{L_{\omega _\omega ^{CK,\,r}}}$ for every recognizable real r and show that either every or no r with $r\, \in \,{L_{\omega _\omega ^{CK,\,r}}}$ generated over an index stage ${L_\gamma }$ is recognizable. Finally, the techniques developed along the way allow us to prove that the halting number for ITRMs is recognizable and that the set of ITRM-computable reals is not ITRM-decidable.
