Abstract

We show that there do not exist computable functions f1(e,i), f2(e, i), g1(e,i), g2(e,i) such that for all e, i ∈ w, (1) (Wf1(e,i) - Wf2(e,i)) ≤T (We - Wi); (2) (Wg1(e,i) - Wg2(e,i)) ≤T (We - Wi); (3) (We - Wi) ≤T (Wf2(e,i) - Wf2(e.i)) ⊖ (Wg1(e,i) - Wg2(e,i)); (4) (We - Wi) ≰T (Wf1(e,i) - Wf2(e,i)) unless (We - Wi) ≤T 0 and (5) (We - Wi) ≰T (Wg1(e,i) - Wg2(e,i)) unless (We - Wi) ≤T 0. It follows that the splitting theorems of Sacks and Cooper cannot be combined uniformly.
