Abstract

In this paper we study the determinacy strength of infinite games in the Cantor space and compare them with their counterparts in the Baire space. We show the following theorems: 1. RCA0 ⊢ Δ1 0* ↔ ∑10-Det* ↔ WKL0. 2. RCA0 ⊢ (∑10) 2-Det* ↔ ACA0. 3. RCA0 ⊢ Δ20* ↔ ∑2 0-Det* ↔ Δ10-Det ↔ ∑10-Det ↔ ATR0. 4. For 1 < k < w, RCA0 ⊢ (∑20)k- Det* ↔ (∑20)k-1-Det. 5. RCA 0 ⊢ Δ30* ↔ Δ30-Det. Here, Det* (respectively Det) stands for the determinacy of infinite games in the Cantor space (respectively the Baire space), and (∑n0)k is the collection of formulas built from ∑n0 formulas by applying the difference operator k - 1 times.
