Degree spectra of homeomorphism types of compact Polish spaces

Abstract

A Polish space is not always homeomorphic to a computably presented Polish space. In this article, we examine degrees of non-computability of presenting homeomorphic copies of compact Polish spaces. We show that there exists a 00'-computable low3_3 compact Polish space which is not homeomorphic to a computable one, and that, for any natural number n2n\geq 2, there exists a Polish space XnX_n such that exactly the highn_{n}-degrees are required to present the homeomorphism type of XnX_n. We also show that no compact Polish space has a least presentation with respect to Turing reducibility. The first version of this article appeared in April 2020. A major update was made in September 2023, with improved proofs and results. This is the final version from January 2024, with more results on \v{C}ech homology groups.
