    Arithmetical Sacks Forcing
    with Rod Downey
    Archive for Mathematical Logic 45 (6): 715-720. 2006.
    We answer a question of Jockusch by constructing a hyperimmune-free minimal degree below a 1-generic one. To do this we introduce a new forcing notion called arithmetical Sacks forcing. Some other applications are presented.

    Maximal pairs of c.e. reals in the computably Lipschitz degrees
    with Yun Fan
    Annals of Pure and Applied Logic 162 (5): 357-366. 2011.
    Computably Lipschitz reducibility , was suggested as a measure of relative randomness. We say α≤clβ if α is Turing reducible to β with oracle use on x bounded by x+c. In this paper, we prove that for any non-computable real, there exists a c.e. real so that no c.e. real can cl-compute both of them. So every non-computable c.e. real is the half of a cl-maximal pair of c.e. reals

    A new proof of Friedman's conjecture
    Bulletin of Symbolic Logic 17 (3): 455-461. 2011.
    We give a new proof of Friedman's conjecture that every uncountable Δ11 set of reals has a member of each hyperdegree greater than or equal to the hyperjump

    Maximal Chains in the Turing Degrees
    with C. T. Chong
    Journal of Symbolic Logic 72 (4): 1219-1227. 2007.
    We study the problem of existence of maximal chains in the Turing degrees. We show that: 1. ZF+DC+"There exists no maximal chain in the Turing degrees" is equiconsistent with ZFC+"There exists an inaccessible cardinal"; 2. For all a ∈ 2ω.(ω₁)L[a] = ω₁ if and only if there exists a $\Pi _{1}^{1}[a]$ maximal chain in the Turing degrees. As a corollary, ZFC + "There exists an inaccessible cardinal" is equiconsistent with ZFC + "There is no (bold face) $\utilde{\Pi}{}_{1}^{1}$ maximal chain of Turin…Read more

    Measure Theory Aspects of Locally Countable Orderings
    Journal of Symbolic Logic 71 (3). 2006.
    We prove that for any locally countable $\Sigma _{1}^{1}$ partial order P = 〈2ω,≤P〉, there exists a nonmeasurable antichain in P. Some applications of the result are also presented

    Lowness and Π₂⁰ nullsets
    with Rod Downey, Andre Nies, and Rebecca Weber
    Journal of Symbolic Logic 71 (3): 1044-1052. 2006.
    We prove that there exists a noncomputable c.e. real which is low for weak 2-randomness, a definition of randomness due to Kurtz, and that all reals which are low for weak 2-randomness are low for Martin-Löf randomness

    On Σ₁-Structural Differences among Finite Levels of the Ershov Hierarchy
    with Yue Yang
    Journal of Symbolic Logic 71 (4). 2006.
    We show that the structure R of recursively enumerable degrees is not a Σ₁-elementary substructure of Dn, where Dn (n &gt 1) is the structure of n-r.e. degrees in the Ershov hierarchy

    On the Definable Ideal Generated by Nonbounding C.E. Degrees
    with Yue Yang
    Journal of Symbolic Logic 70 (1). 2005.
    Let [NB]₁ denote the ideal generated by nonbounding c.e. degrees and NCup the ideal of noncuppable c.e. degrees. We show that both [NB]₁ ∪ NCup and the ideal generated by nonbounding and noncuppable degrees are new, in the sense that they are different from M, [NB]₁ and NCup—the only three known definable ideals so far
