Contiguity and distributivity in the enumerable Turing degrees

From MaRDI portal





In this very interesting paper it is proved that: (i) A recursively enumerable degree is contiguous iff it is locally distributive. This settles an old question going back to Ladner and Sasso. An enumerable Turing degree in which all the (not necessarily enumerable) sets are of the same weak truth table degree is strongly contiguous. (ii) The notions of strong contiguity and continuity coincide. This settles a question of R. G. Downey. (iii) No \(m\)-topped degree is contiguous. This settles a question of R. G. Downey and C. Jockusch.
