Wadge Degrees of -Languages of Petri Nets
We prove that -languages of (non-deterministic) Petri nets and
-languages of (non-deterministic) Turing machines have the same
topological complexity: the Borel and Wadge hierarchies of the class of
-languages of (non-deterministic) Petri nets are equal to the Borel and
Wadge hierarchies of the class of -languages of (non-deterministic)
Turing machines which also form the class of effective analytic sets. In
particular, for each non-null recursive ordinal there exist some -complete and some -complete -languages of Petri nets, and the supremum of
the set of Borel ranks of -languages of Petri nets is the ordinal
, which is strictly greater than the first non-recursive ordinal
. We also prove that there are some -complete, hence non-Borel, -languages of Petri nets, and
that it is consistent with ZFC that there exist some -languages of
Petri nets which are neither Borel nor -complete. This
answers the question of the topological complexity of -languages of
(non-deterministic) Petri nets which was left open in [DFR14,FS14].Comment: arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:0712.1359, arXiv:0804.326
