We prove that every finite distributive lattice is isomorphic to a final segment of the d.c.e. Turing degrees (i.e., the degrees of differences of computably enumerable sets). As a corollary, we are able to infer the undecidability of the…
A Turing degree is d.c.e. if it contains a set that is the difference of two c.e. sets. A d.c.e. degree $\mathbf{d}$ is isolated if there exists a c.e. degree $\mathbf{a}<\mathbf{d}$ such that every c.e. degree below $\mathbf{d}$ is also…
We study the degrees of selector functions related to the degrees in which a rigid computable structure is relatively computably categorical. It is proved that for some structures such degrees can be represented as the unions of upper cones…
We investigate the truth-table degrees of (co-)c.e.\ sets, in particular, sets of random strings. It is known that the set of random strings with respect to any universal prefix-free machine is Turing complete, but that truth-table…
A Turing degree is d.c.e. if it contains a set that is the difference of two c.e. sets. A d.c.e. degree $\mathbf{d}$ is isolated by a c.e. degree $\mathbf{a}<\mathbf{d}$ if all c.e. degrees that are below $\mathbf{d}$ are also below…
In this paper, we provide a negative solution to Problem 3 formulated by P.~Odifreddi in his survey articles \textit{``Strong Reducibilities''} (1981) and \textit{``Reducibilities''} (1999). The problem asks whether every computably…
We show that for both the unary relation of transcendence and the finitary relation of algebraic independence on a field, the degree spectra of these relations may consist of any single computably enumerable Turing degree, or of those c.e.…
We study connections between classical asymptotic density and c.e. sets. We prove that a c.e. Turing degree d is not low if and only if d contains a c.e. set A of density 1 which has no computable subsets of density 1, giving a natural…
Adapting a result of Bazhenov, Kalimullin, and Yamaleev, we show that if a Turing degree $\textbf{d}$ is the degree of categoricity of a computable structure $\mathcal{M}$ and is not the strong degree of categoricity of any computable…
When $p$ is a computable real so that $p \geq 1$, the isometry degree of a computable copy $\mathcal{B}$ of $\ell^p$ is defined to be the least powerful Turing degree that computes a linear isometry of $\ell^p$ onto $\mathcal{B}$. We show…
We initiate the computability-theoretic study of ringed spaces and schemes. In particular, we show that any Turing degree may occur as the least degree of an isomorphic copy of a structure of these kinds. We also show that these structures…
Several researchers have recently established that for every Turing degree $\boldsymbol{c}$, the real closed field of all $\boldsymbol{c}$-computable real numbers has spectrum $\{\boldsymbol{d}~:~\boldsymbol{d}'\geq\boldsymbol{c}"\}$. We…
A computable graph $\mathcal{G}$ is computably categorical relative to a degree $\mathbf{d}$ if and only if for all $\mathbf{d}$-computable copies $\mathcal{B}$ of $\mathcal{G}$, there is a $\mathbf{d}$-computable isomorphism…
We contribute to a recent research program which aims at revisiting the study of the complexity of word problems, a major area of research in combinatorial algebra, through the lens of the theory of computably enumerable equivalence…
Richter, Stephan, and Zhang asked whether every nonrecursive many-one degree contains a least finite-one degree. We solve this question in the negative, already within the class of computably enumerable many-one degrees. Positive answers…
The Turing degree spectrum of a countable structure $\mathcal{A}$ is the set of all Turing degrees of isomorphic copies of $\mathcal{A}$. The Turing degree of the isomorphism type of $\mathcal{A}$, if it exists, is the least Turing degree…
Theories of classification distinguish classes with some good structure theorem from those for which none is possible. Some classes (dense linear orders, for instance) are non-classifiable in general, but are classifiable when we consider…
A major part of computability theory focuses on the analysis of a few structures of central importance. As a tool, the method of coding with first-order formulas has been applied with great success. For instance, in the c.e. Turing degrees,…
The Turing degree of a real measures the computational difficulty of producing its binary expansion. Since Turing degrees are tailsets, it follows from Kolmogorov's 0-1 law that for any property which may or may not be satisfied by any…
We show that there are Turing complete computably enumerable sets of arbitrarily low non-trivial initial segment prefix-free complexity. In particular, given any computably enumerable set $A$ with non-trivial prefix-free initial segment…
