Extract

In this note is proved the following:

Theorem. Iƒ A × B is universal and one oƒ A, B is r.e. then one of A, B is universal.

Let α, τ be 1-argument recursive functions such that x goes to (σ(χ), τ(χ)) is a (1–1) map of the natural numbers onto all ordered pairs of natural numbers. A set A of natural numbers is called universal if every r.e. set is (many-one) reducible to A; A × B is called universal if the set
