## Ramsey’s theorem and cone avoidance.(English)Zbl 1166.03021

Summary: It was shown by P. A. Cholak, C. G. Jockusch, and T. A. Slaman [J. Symb. Log. 66, No. 1, 1–55 (2001; Zbl 0977.03033)] that every computable 2-coloring of pairs admits an infinite low$$_{2}$$ homogeneous set $$H$$. We answer a question of the same authors by showing that $$H$$ may be chosen to satisfy in addition $$C \not \leq _{T} H$$, where $$C$$ is a given noncomputable set. This is shown by analyzing a new and simplified proof of Seetapun’s cone avoidance theorem for Ramsey’s theorem. We then extend the result to show that every computable 2-coloring of pairs admits a pair of low$$_{2}$$ infinite homogeneous sets whose degrees form a minimal pair.
