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 \SI1\SI 1, the mP\le^P_m relation on EXPTIME sets for \SI2\SI 2 and the embeddability of computable subgroups of (\QQ,+)(\QQ,+) for \SI3\SI 3. In all cases, the symmetric fragment of the preorder is complete for equivalence relations on the same level. We present a characterisation of \PI1\PI 1 equivalence relations which allows us to establish that equality of polynomial time functions and inclusion of polynomial time sets are complete for \PI1\PI 1 equivalence relations and preorders respectively. We also show that this is the limit of the enquiry: for n2n\geq 2 there are no \PIn\PI n nor \DEn\DE n-complete equivalence relations.
