Abstract

Solovay has shown that if F: [ω]ω → 2 is a clopen partition with recursive code, then there is an infinite homogeneous hyperarithmetic set for the partition (a basis result). Simpson has shown that for every 0α, where α is a recursive ordinal, there is a clopen partition F: [ω]ω → 2 such that every infinite homogeneous set is Turing above 0α (an anti-basis result). Here we refine these results, by associating the “order type” of a clopen set with the Turing complexity of the infinite homogeneous sets. We also consider the Nash-Williams barrier theorem and its relation to the clopen Ramsey theorem.
