Abstract

We show: (1) for every noncomputable c.e. incomplete c-degree, there exists a nonspeedable c-degree incomparable with it; (2) The c-degree of a hypersimple set includes an infinite collection of \(c_1\)-degrees linearly ordered under \(\le _{c_1}\) with order type of the integers and consisting entirely of hypersimple sets; (3) there exist two c.e. sets having no c.e. least upper bound in the \(c_1\)-reducibility ordering; (4) the c.e. \(c_1\)-degrees are not dense.
