A non-computable c.e. closed subset of $[0,1]$

Abstract

We prove that there exists a Σ10\Sigma^0_1 closed subset of [0,1][0,1] that is not homeomorphic to any computably compact space. We show that the index set of c.e. subspaces of [0,1][0,1] that admit a computably compact presentation is not arithmetical, as witnessed by subsets of [0,1][0,1]. The index set result is new for computable Polish spaces in general, not only for those realised as c.e. closed subsets of [0,1][0,1].
