Degrees of categoricity and treeable degrees
Abstract
We give a characterization of the strong degrees of categoricity of computable structures greater or equal to . They are precisely the \emph{treeable} degrees -- the least degrees of paths through computable trees -- that compute . As a corollary, we obtain several new examples of degrees of categoricity. Among them we show that every degree with for a computable ordinal greater than is the strong degree of categoricity of a rigid structure. Using quite different techniques we show that every degree with is the strong degree of categoricity of a structure. Together with the above example this answers a question of Csima and Ng. To complete the picture we show that there is a degree with that is not the degree of categoricity of a rigid structure.

Replaces arXiv:2209.04524 where it was incorrectly claimed that "Every degree of categoricity above 0'' is strong". We do not have a proof of this fact. Changes were made to reflect this
