Isolation and lattice embeddings
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 March 2014
Abstract
Say that (a, d) is an isolation pair if a is a c.e. degree, d is a d.c.e. degree, a < d and a bounds all c.e. degrees below d. We prove that there are an isolation pair (a, d) and a c.e. degree c such that c is incomparable with a, d, and c cups d to o′, caps a to o. Thus, {o, c, d, o′} is a diamond embedding, which was first proved by Downey in [9]. Furthermore, combined with Harrington-Soare continuity of capping degrees, our result gives an alternative proof of N5 embedding.
