Infinite games Gale-Stewart game G ( X ), where X ( ⊆ A ω ) is a winning set for player I Determinacy With the usual convention, C -Det denotes that “A Gale-Stewart game G ( X ) is determined (one of the two players has a winning strategy), if X is contained in the class C ”. ω -languages accepted by automata L ( M ), where M is some kind of automata Question If the winning sets are effectively given, i.e., winning sets are accepted by some kind of automata, how is the determinacy strength of such games?

Question How about other acceptance conditions of lower levels? In this talk we concentrates on determinacy strength of infinite games specified by nondeterministic pushdown automata and variants of it with various acceptance conditions, e.g., safety, reachability, co-B¨ uchi conditions.

Various acceptance conditions of ω -2DVPA ◮ We denote the ω -languages accepted by ω -2DVPA with different acceptance conditions as follows. ◮ ω -languages accepted by deterministic Turing machines with safety (resp., reachabiliy, co-B¨ uchi, B¨ uchi) condition is the collection of all arithmetical Π 0 1 -sets (respectively, Σ 0 1 -sets, Σ 0 2 -sets, Π 0 2 -sets). Acceptance conditions Subclass of 2DVPL ω ⊆ Σ 0 Reachability 2DVPL ω ( Σ 1 ) 1 ⊆ Π 0 Safety 2DVPL ω ( Π 1 ) 1 ⊆ Σ 0 Co-B¨ uchi 2DVPL ω ( Σ 2 ) 2 ⊆ Π 0 B¨ uchi 2DVPL ω ( Π 2 ) 2 Similarly, by 2DVPL ω ( C ) we denote the ω -languages accepted by deterministic 2-stack visibly pushdown automata with an acceptance condition C .

Theorem There exists an infinite game in 2 DVPL ω ( Σ 1 ∧ Π 1 ) with only Σ 0 1 -hard winning strategies. Proof. ◮ Let R be a universal 2-counter automaton. ◮ We construct a game G R such that the halting problem of R is computable in any winning strategies of player II, while player I has no winning strategy, and moreover the winning set for player II is accepted by a deterministic 2-stack visibly pushdown automaton with a Σ 1 ∨ Π 1 acceptance condition.

Recall 2-counter automata � A 2-counter automaton can be seen as a restricted 2-stack pushdown automaton with just one symbol for each stack: the number of the symbols in a stack is expresses as a nonnegative integer in a counter. � The input is a natural number m which is initially store in one of the counter. � By the current state and the tests results on whether each counter is zero or not, the automaton goes to next state and do operations on the two counters by increasing the counter(s) by 1, or decreasing the counter(s) by 1 if the counter is not zero. � It is known that a (deterministic) 2-counter automaton, is equivalent to a Turing machine. Thus the halting problem for a certain (universal deterministic) 2-counter automaton is Σ 0 1 -complete. W. Li (Tohohu University) Determ. streng. of infin. games in ω -lang. 15 / 39

Recall 2-counter automata (continued) • A configuration ( q , m , n ) of a 2-counter automaton R is coded as qa m b n , where q ∈ Q , and m , n are non-negative integers in the two counters. • A run for a natural number m on R : q in a m 0 b n 0 �→ R q 1 a m 1 b n 1 �→ R q 2 a m 2 b n 2 �→ R · · · , where q in is the initial state, and m 0 = m , n 0 = 0. • A run is halting if it reaches a halting configuration. • A natural number m ∈ L ( R ) iff there exists a run on m such that q in a m b n 0 �→ R q 1 a m 1 b n 1 �→ R · · · �→ R q s a m s b n s , where n 0 = 0 and q s is a halting state.

If player II says “no”, how does she challenge? Player II wants to makes sure (1) the sequence of configurations provided by player I is a sequence of the form qa m b n and connected by ⊲ , (2) it starts with the initial configuration, (3) any two consecutive configurations constitute a valid transition of R , and (4) the sequence of configurations is ended with a halting configuration. The conditions (1), (2) and (4) are easy to check with Σ 1 conditions (i.e., player I lose with Π 1 ). In the following we explain how player II challenges if she thinks player I cheated by disobeying the above rule (3).
