Abstract:

Every hyperdegree at or above that of Kleene’s $O$ is the hyperjump and the supremum of two minimal hyperdegrees (Theorem 3.1). There is a nonempty $\Sigma _1^1$ class of number-theoretic predicates each of which has minimal hyperdegree (Theorem 4.7). If $V = L$ or a generic extension of $L$, then there are arbitrarily large hyperdegrees which are not minimal over any hyperdegree (Theorems 5.1, 5.2). If ${O^\# }$ exists, then there is a hyperdegree such that every larger hyperdegree is minimal over some hyperdegree (Theorem 5.4). Several other theorems on hyperdegrees and degrees of nonconstructibility are presented.
