Minor revisions", "categories": [ "math.LO" ], "abstract": "A computable structure A is x-computably categorical for some Turing degree x, if for every computable structure B isomorphic to A there is an isomorphism f:B -> A with f computable in x. A degree x is a degree of categoricity if there is a computable A such that A is x-computably categorical, and for all y, if A is y-computably categorical then y computes x. We construct a Sigma_2 set whose degree is not a degree of categoricity. We also demonstrate a large class of degrees that are not degrees of categoricity by showing that every degree of a set which is 2-generic relative to some perfect tree is not a degree of categoricity. Finally, we prove that every noncomputable hyperimmune-free degree is not a degree of categoricity.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2014-04-06T21:55:52.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "03D50", "F.4.1" ], "keywords": [ "categoricity", "computable structure", "noncomputable hyperimmune-free degree", "perfect tree", "large class" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 10, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2012arXiv1210.4220A" } } }
