Abstract

We prove that RCA0 + RRT ⊬ ACA0 where RRT is the Rainbow Ramsey Theorem for 2-bounded colorings of triples. This reverse mathematical result is based on a cone avoidance theorem, that every 2-bounded coloring of pairs admits a cone-avoiding infinite rainbow, regardless of the complexity of the given coloring. We also apply the proof of the cone avoidance theorem to the question whether RCA0 + RRT ⊦ ACA0 and obtain some partial answer.
