Abstract:
In [Bra03] Bradfield found a link between finite differences formed by $\Sigma^0_2$ sets and the mu-arithmetic introduced by Lubarski. We extend this approach into the transfinite: in allowing countable disjunctions we show that this kind of extended mu-calculus matches neatly to the transfinite difference hierarchy of $\Sigma^0_2$ sets. The difference hierarchy is intimately related to parity games. When passing to infinitely many priorities, it might not longer be true that there is a positional winning strategy. However, if such games are derived from the difference hierarchy, this property still holds true.
