Abstract

The goal of this paper is to announce there is a single orbit of the c.e. sets with inclusion, \E\E, such that the question of membership in this orbit is Σ11\Sigma^1_1-complete. This result and proof have a number of nice corollaries: the Scott rank of \E\E is \wock+1\wock +1; not all orbits are elementarily definable; there is no arithmetic description of all orbits of \E\E; for all finite α9\alpha \geq 9, there is a properly Δα0\Delta^0_\alpha orbit (from the proof). A few small corrections made in this version
