Post's theorem
In computability theory Post's theorem, named after Emil Post, describes the connection between the arithmetical hierarchy and the Turing degrees.
== Background ==
The statement of Post's theorem uses several concepts relating to definability and recursion theory. This section gives a brief overview of these concepts, which are covered in depth in their respective articles.
The arithmetical hierarchy classifies certain sets of natural numbers that are definable in the language of Peano arithmetic. A formula is said to be \Sigma^_m if it is an existential statement in prenex normal form (all quantifiers at the front) with m alternations between existential and universal quantifiers applied to a quantifier free formula. Formally a formula \phi(s) in the language of Peano arithmetic is a \Sigma^_m formula if it is of the form
:\exists n_1 \forall n_2 \exists n_3 \forall n_4 \cdots Q n_m \rho(n_1,\ldots,n_m,x_1,\ldots,x_k),
where ρ is a quantifier free formula and ''Q'' is \forall if ''m'' is even and \exists if ''m'' is odd. Note that any formula of the form
:\left(\exists n^1_1\exists n^1_2\cdots\exists n^1_\right)\left(\forall n^2_1 \cdots \forall n^2_\right)\left(\exists n^3_1\cdots\right)\cdots\left(Q_1 n^m_1 \cdots \right)\rho(n^1_1,\ldots n^m_,x_1,\ldots,x_k)
where \rho contains only bounded quantifiers is provably equivalent to a formula of the above form from the axioms of Peano arithmetic. Thus it isn't uncommon to see \Sigma^_m formulas defined in this alternative and technically nonequivalent manner since in practice the distinction is rarely important.
A set of natural numbers ''A'' is said to be \Sigma^0_m if it is definable by a \Sigma^0_m formula, that is, if there is a \Sigma^0_m formula \phi(s) such that each number ''n'' is in ''A'' if and only if \phi(n) holds. It is known that if a set is \Sigma^0_m then it is \Sigma^0_n for any n > m, but for each ''m'' there is a \Sigma^0_ set that is not \Sigma^0_m. Thus the number of quantifier alternations required to define a set gives a measure of the complexity of the set.
Post's theorem uses the relativized arithmetical hierarchy as well as the unrelativized hierarchy just defined. A set ''A'' of natural numbers is said to be \Sigma^0_m relative to a set ''B'', written \Sigma^_m, if
''A'' is definable by a \Sigma^0_m formula in an extended language that includes a predicate for membership in ''B''.
While the arithmetical hierarchy measures definability of sets of natural numbers, Turing degrees measure the level of uncomputability of sets of natural numbers. A set ''A'' is said to be Turing reducible to a set ''B'', written A \leq_T B, if there is an oracle Turing machine that, given an oracle for ''B'', computes the characteristic function of ''A''.
The Turing jump of a set ''A'' is a form of the Halting problem relative to ''A''. Given a set ''A'',
the Turing jump A' is the set of indices of oracle Turing machines that halt on input ''0'' when run with oracle ''A''. It is known that every set ''A'' is Turing reducible to its Turing jump, but the Turing jump of a set is never Turing reducible to the original set.
Post's theorem uses finitely iterated Turing jumps. For any set ''A'' of natural numbers, the notation
A^ indicates the ''n''-fold iterated Turing jump of ''A''. Thus A^ is just ''A'', and A^ is the Turing jump of A^.
