Abstract
We consider the relationship between the CEA-hierarchy and the Ershov hierarchy in \({\Delta }_{2}^{0}\) Turing degrees. A degree c is called CEA(a) if c is computably enumerable in a, and a ≤ c. Soare and Stob [Stud. Logic Found. Math., 107, 299-324 (1982)] proved that for a noncomputable low c.e. degree a there exists a CEA(a) degree that is not c.e. Later, Arslanov, Lempp, and Shore [Ann. Pure Appl. Logic, 78, Nos. 1-3, 29-56 (1996)] formulated the problem of describing pairs of degrees a < e such that there exists a CEA(a) 2-c.e. degree d ≤ e which is not c.e. Since then the question has remained open as to whether a CEA(a) degree in the sense of Soare and Stob can be made 2-c.e. Here we answer this question in the negative, solving it in a stronger formulation: there exists a noncomputable low c.e. degree a such that any CEA(a) ω-c.e. degree is c.e. Also possible generalizations of the result obtained are discussed, as well as various issues associated with the problem mentioned.
期刊介绍:
This bimonthly journal publishes results of the latest research in the areas of modern general algebra and of logic considered primarily from an algebraic viewpoint. The algebraic papers, constituting the major part of the contents, are concerned with studies in such fields as ordered, almost torsion-free, nilpotent, and metabelian groups; isomorphism rings; Lie algebras; Frattini subgroups; and clusters of algebras. In the area of logic, the periodical covers such topics as hierarchical sets, logical automata, and recursive functions.
Algebra and Logic is a translation of ALGEBRA I LOGIKA, a publication of the Siberian Fund for Algebra and Logic and the Institute of Mathematics of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
All articles are peer-reviewed.
