Abstract

We use reverse mathematics to analyze "iterated jump" versions of the following four principles: the atomic model theorem with subenumerable types (AST), the diagonally noncomputable principle (DNR), weak weak K\H{o}nig's lemma (WWKL), and weak K\H{o}nig's lemma (WKL). The logical relationships between these principles are summarized in Figure 1 and include, among other things, an infinite chain and an infinite antichain, the latter of which represents a strong form of non-linearity in terms of provability strength among "natural" combinatorial principles.
