Abstract

We investigate the problem of characterizing proper levels of the fine hierarchy (up to Turing equivalence). It is known that the fine hierarchy exhausts arithmetical sets and contains as a small fragment finite levels of Ershov hierarchies (relativized to ∅n, n < ω), which are known to be proper. Our main result is finding a least new (i.e., distinct from the levels of the relativized Ershov hierarchies) proper level. We also show that not all new levels are proper.
