N is the set of all nonnegative integers. For t >= 1, N^t is the set
of all t tuples from N. For t <= 0, N^t is the empty set.
Let R contained in N^pk x N^k. For B contained in N^pk, we define
R<[B] = {y in N^k: (there exists x in B)(R(x,y) and max(x) < max(y))}.
The presence of R<[B] indicates that B containedin N^pk.
We say that R inverts B to C if and only if
i. B containedin N^k.
ii. C containedin N^pk.
ii. for all x in B, if there exists y with R(y,x) then there exists y
in C with R(y,x).
An inverse value of R on B is a y in N^pk such that for some x in B, y
is unique with R(y,x).
A regressive inverse value of R on B is a y in N^pk such that for some
x in B, max(y) < min(x) and y is unique with R(y,x).
A cube is a set of the form B^k, B contained in N.
A subcube of X is a cube that is contained in X.
Delta is "symmetric difference".
SMAH+ = ZFC + "for all k there is a strongly k-Mahlo cardinal". SMAH =
ZFC + {there exists a strongly k-Mahlo cardinal}_k
SUB+ = ZFC + "for all k there is a k-subtle cardinal". SUB = ZFC +
{there exists a k-subtle cardinal}_k.
For B contained in N, we write B! = {n!: n in B}.
For A contained in N^k and n in Z, define A+n = {x+n: n in A}. Here x
+n is the result of adding n to each coordinate of x.
1. BACKGROUND.
We start with one of many versions of the Complementation Theorem.
COMPLEMENTATION THEOREM. For all R contained in N^pk x N^k, there
exists A
contained in N^k such that A delta R<[A^p] = N^k. Furthermore, A is
unique and contains the origin.
Other ways of writing A delta R<[A] = N^k are
R<[A^p] = N^k\A
A = N^k\R<[A^p]
A U. R<[A^p] = N^k
Here U. is "disjoint union".
We would like to get a "large" A. However, the unique A may be as
small as {0}.
We have better luck with A-1 delta R<[A^p].
THEOREM 1.1. For all R contained in N^pk x N^k, there exists infinite A
contained in N^k such that A-1 delta R<[A^p] = N^k.
However, we cannot always obtain A which is large in the sense of
containing an infinite cube (having an infinite subcube).
We will see that we can require that A have an infinite subcube if we
weaken the largeness condition on A-1 delta R<[A^p].
I.e., we can find A with an infinite subcube where A-1 delta R<[A^p] is
"large".
There is a regressive values theorem discussed in my Annals of Math
paper, 1998. There, we introduced and worked with counts on the
regressive values of functions. Here are versions that live on the
suitable large cardinals.
THEOREM 1.2. Let lambda is a (roughly) k-subtle cardinal. Every
f:lambda^k into lambda^k has finitely many regressive values over some
infinite cube in lambda^k. Furthermore, the converse (roughly) holds.
THEOREM 1.3. Let lambda be a (roughly) k-subtle cardinal. Every
f:lambda^k into lambda^k has at most (8k)! regressive values over some
length p cube in lambda^k. Furthermore, the converse (roughly) holds.
2. STRONGLY MAHLO CARDINALS.
Strongly Mahlo cardinals and Mahlo cardinals are equivalent for our
discrete math purposes, by Goedel's L relativization (well known
conservative extension).
PROPOSITION 2.1. For all R contained in N^pk x N^k, some R intersect
A^p+1 inverts some infinite subcube of A to (A-1 delta R<[A^p])^p.
PROPOSITION 2.2. For all (unit coefficient) piecewise linear R
contained in N^pk x N^k, some R intersect A^p+1 inverts some infinite
subcube of A to (A-1 delta R<[A^p])^p. Furthermore, A and its
aforementioned infinite subcube can be taken to be piecewise (base 2)
exponential.
PROPOSITION 2.3. For all unit coefficient piecewise linear R contained
in [0,t!]^pk x [0,t!]^k, some R intersect A^p+1 inverts some [8pk,t]!
^k containedin A to (A-1 delta R<[A^p])^p.
THEOREM 2.4. Propositions 2.1-2.3 are provable in SMAH+ but not in any
consistent fragment of SMAH. Proposition 2.1 is provably equivalent,
over ACA, to Con(SMAH).
Note that Proposition 2.2 (with piecewise exponential) is
arithmetical. Using the decision procedure for base 2 exponential
Presburger, Proposition 2.2 is Pi02. A double exponential bound can be
given on the exponential representation. Using this, Proposition 2.2
becomes Pi01.
Note that Proposition 2.3 is explicitly Pi01.
Rudimentary piecewise linear R can also be used, with the same
results. These are given by Boolean combinations of unit coefficient
linear inequalities, where at most two variables appear in each linear
inequality.
3. SUBTLE CARDINALS.
Define !(n) as n!...!, where there are n !'s.
PROPOSITION 3.1. For all R contained in N^pk x N^k, some R intersect
A^p+1 has finitely many regressive inverse values on some infinite
cube in N^k that it inverts to (A delta R<[A^p])^p.
PROPOSITION 3.2. For all R contained in [0,!(8pk)]^pk, some R
intersect A^p+1 has at most (8k)! regressive inverse values on some
length p cube in [0,!(8pk)]^k that it inverts to (A delta R<[A^p])^p.
Note that Proposition 3.2 is explicitly Pi01.
THEOREM 3.3. Propositions 3.1-3.2 is provable in SUB+ but not in any
consistent fragment of SUB. Propositions 3.1-3.2 are provably
equivalent,
over ACA, to Con(SUB).
