Computable Component-wise Reducibility
Abstract
We consider equivalence relations and preorders complete for various levels of the arithmetical hierarchy under computable, component-wise reducibility. We show that implication in first order logic is a complete preorder for , the relation on EXPTIME sets for and the embeddability of computable subgroups of for . In all cases, the symmetric fragment of the preorder is complete for equivalence relations on the same level. We present a characterisation of equivalence relations which allows us to establish that equality of polynomial time functions and inclusion of polynomial time sets are complete for equivalence relations and preorders respectively. We also show that this is the limit of the enquiry: for there are no nor -complete equivalence relations.
