Revisiting a result of Ko

Abstract

In this paper we analyze Ko's Theorem 3.4 in \cite{Ko87}. We extend point b) of Ko's Theorem by showing that \poneh(\upcoup)=\upcoup. As a corollary, we get the equality \ph(\upcoup) = \poneh(\upcoup), which is, to our knowledge, a unique result of type \poneh({\cal C})=\ph({\cal C}), for a class C\cal C that would not be equal to \DP. With regard to point a) of Ko's Theorem, we observe that it also holds for the classes \upk{k} and for \fewp. In spite of this, we prove that point b) of Theorem 3.4 fails for such classes in a relativized world. This is obtained by showing the relativized separation of \upcoupk{2} from \poneh(\npconp). Finally, we suggest a natural line of research arising from these facts
