AbstractWe show that no nontrivial principal ideal of the enumeration degrees is linearly ordered: in fact, below every nonzero enumeration degree one can embed every countable partial order. The result can be relativized above any total degree: if a,b are enumeration degrees, with a total, and a < b, then in the degree interval (a,b), one can embed every countable partial order.

AbstractUsing properties of${\cal K}$-pairs of sets, we show that every nonzero enumeration degreeabounds a nontrivial initial segment of enumeration degrees whose nonzero elements have all the same jump asa. Some consequences of this fact are derived, that hold in the local structure of the enumeration degrees, including: There is an initial segment of enumeration degrees, whose nonzero elements are all high; there is a nonsplitting high enumeration degree; every noncappable enumeration degree is high; every nonzero low enumeration degree can be capped by degrees of any possible local jump (i.e., any jump that can be realized by enumeration degrees of the local structure); every enumeration degree that bounds a nonzero element of strictly smaller jump, is bounding; every low enumeration degree below a non low enumeration degreeacan be capped belowa.

Abstract.We show that the Turing degrees are not sufficient to measure the complexity of continuous functions on [0, 1]. Computability of continuous real functions is a standard notion from computable analysis. However, no satisfactory theory of degrees of continuous functions exists. We introduce the continuous degrees and prove that they are a proper extension of the Turing degrees and a proper substructure of the enumeration degrees. Call continuous degrees which are not Turing degrees non-total. Several fundamental results are proved: a continuous function with non-total degree has no least degree representation, settling a question asked by Pour-El and Lempp; every non-computable f ∈ [0,1] computes a non-computable subset of ℕ there is a non-total degree between Turing degrees a <Tb iff b is a PA degree relative to a; ⊆ 2ℕ is a Scott set iff it is the collection of f-computable subsets of ℕ for some f ∈ [0,1] of non-total degree; and there are computably incomparable f, g ∈ [0,1] which compute exactly the same subsets of ℕ. Proofs draw from classical analysis and constructive analysis as well as from computability theory.

AbstractWe prove that for every Σ20 enumeration degree b there exists a noncuppable Σ20 degree a > 0e such that and . This allows us to deduce, from results on the high/low jump hierarchy in the local Turing degrees and the jump preserving properties of the standard embedding , that there exist Σ20 noncuppable enumeration degrees at every possible—i.e., above low1—level of the high/low jump hierarchy in the context of .

We give an algorithm for deciding whether an embedding of a finite partial order [Formula: see text] into the enumeration degrees of the [Formula: see text]-sets can always be extended to an embedding of a finite partial order [Formula: see text].

AbstractWe show that there is a first order sentence φ(x: a, b, l) such that for every computable partial order and -degree u > 0e, there are -enumeration degrees a ≤ u, b, and l such that . Allowing to be a suitably defined standard model of arithmetic gives a parameterized interpretation of true arithmetic in the -enumeration degrees. Finally we show that there is a first order sentence that correctly identifies a subset of the standard models, which gives a parameterless interpretation of true arithmetic in the -enumeration degrees.

AbstractWe prove that each Σ20 set which is hypersimple relative to ∅′ is noncuppable in the structure of the Σ20 enumeration degrees. This gives a connection between properties of Σ20 sets under inclusion and and the Σ20 enumeration degrees. We also prove that some low non-computably enumerable enumeration degree contains no set which is simple relative to ∅′.

Enumeration reducibility is a reducibility between sets of natural numbers defined as follows: A is enumeration reducible to B if there is some effective operation on enumerations which when given any enumeration of B will produce an enumeration of A. One reason for interest in this reducibility is that it presents us with a natural reducibility between partial functions whose degree structure can be seen to extend the structure of the Turing degrees of unsolvability. In [7] Friedberg and Rogers gave a precise definition of enumeration reducibility, and in [12] Rogers presented a theorem of Medvedev [10] on the existence of what Case [1] was to call quasi-minimal degrees. Myhill [11] also defined this reducibility and proved that the class of quasi-minimal degrees is of second category in the usual topology. As Gutteridge [8] has shown that there are no minimal enumeration degrees (see Cooper [3]), the quasi-minimal degrees are very much of interest in the study of the structure of the enumeration degrees. In this paper we define a jump operator on the enumeration degrees which was introduced by Cooper [4], and show that every complete enumeration degree is the jump of a quasi-minimal degree. We also extend the notion of a high Turing degree to the enumeration degrees and construct a “high” quasi-minimal enumeration degree—a result which contrasts with Cooper's result in [2] that a high Turing degree cannot be minimal. Finally, we use the Sacks' Jump Theorem to characterise the jumps of the co-r.e. enumeration degrees.
