Abstract: Let Fomega1 be the countable admissible ordinal equivalence relation defined on omega2 by xFomega1y if and only if omega1x=omega1y. It will be shown that Fomega1 is classifiable by countable structures and must be classified by structures of high Scott rank. If E and F are equivalence relations, then E is almost Borel reducible to F if and only if there is a Borel reduction of E to F, except possibly on countably many E-classes. Let Eomega1 denote the equivalence of order types of reals coding well-orderings. It will be shown that in the constructible universe L and set generic extensions of L, Eomega1 is not almost Borel reducible to Fomega1, although a result of Zapletal implies such an almost Borel reduction exists if there is a measurable cardinal. Lastly, it will be shown that the isomorphism relation induced by a counterexample to Vaught's conjecture cannot be Borel reducible to Fomega1 in L and set generic extensions of L. This shows the consistency of a negative answer to a question of Sy-David Friedman.
