Abstract

In this paper, we show that the so-called “double bubbles” are not downward dense in the d.c.e. degrees. Here, a pair of d.c.e. degrees \(\mathbf{d}_1> \mathbf{d}_2 > \mathbf{0}\) forms a double bubble if all d.c.e. degrees below \(\mathbf{d}_1\) are comparable with \(\mathbf{d}_2\).

This research was carried out while Yamaleev was visiting the University of Wisconsin under binational NSF grant DMS-1101123 entitled “Collaboration in Computability”. Kuyper’s research was supported by John Templeton Foundation grant 15619: “Mind, Mechanism and Mathematics: Turing Centenary Research Project”. Lempp’s research was partially supported by AMS-Simons Foundation Collaboration Grant 209087. Soskova’s research was supported by Sofia University Science Fund Grant 54/12.04.2016 and by the L’Oréal-UNESCO program “For women in science”. Yamaleev’s research was supported by the Russian Foundation for Basic Research (projects 15-41-02507, 15-01-08252), by the Russian Government Program of Competitive Growth of Kazan Federal University, and by the subsidy allocated to Kazan Federal University for the project part of the state assignment in the sphere of scientific activities (project 1.2045.2014).

    In fact, this idea goes back to Arslanov, who noted it in private communication with Shore. Later, he publicized this idea in conference talks.
