Abstract

Where a is a Turing degree and ξ is an ordinal < (ℵ1)L1, the result of performing ξ jumps on a, a(ξ), is defined set-theoretically, using Jensen's fine-structure results. This operation appears to be the natural extension through (ℵ1)L1 of the ordinary jump operations. We describe this operation in more degree-theoretic terms, examine how much of it could be defined in degree-theoretic terms and compare it to the single jump operation.
