Lattice embeddings into the d.c.e. degrees
by
Guohua Wu
Victoria University of Wellington

Say that (a, d) is an isolation pair if a is a c.e. degree, d is a d.c.e. degree, a < d and a bounds all c.e. degrees below d. We prove that there are two isolation pairs (a1, d1), (a2, d2), and a c.e. degree c such that

(1) c is incomparable with d1, d2;
(2) c cups d1, d2 to 0', caps a1, a2 to 0;
(3) d1 \cup d2=0', a1 \cap a2=0.
Immediately, {0, c, d1, d2, 0'} is an M5 embedding. By Harrington-Soare's continuity of capping degrees, our result also gives an N5 embedding into d.c.e. degrees. Also by combining our construction with the high permission method, we have that the lattice S8 can also be embedded into the d.c.e. degrees with 0, 1 preserved.
