Abstract. We prove an algebraic extension theorem for the computably enumerable sets, E. Using this extension theorem and other work we then show if A and � A are automorphic via Ψ, then they are automorphic via Λ where Λ ↾ L ∗ (A) =ΨandΛ↾E ∗ (A) is∆0 3. We give an algebraic description of when an arbitrary set �A is in the orbit of a computably enumerable set A. We construct the first example of a definable orbit which is not a ∆0 3 orbit. We conclude with some results which restrict the ways one can increase the complexity of orbits. For example, we show that if A is simple and �A is in the same orbit as A, then they are in the same ∆0 6-orbit and, furthermore, we provide a classification of when two simple sets are in the same orbit. 1.

Abstract. The goal of this paper is to show there is a single orbit of the c.e. sets with inclusion, E, such that the question of membership in this orbit is Σ1 1-complete. This result and proof have a number of nice corollaries: the Scott rank of E is ωCK 1 + 1; not all orbits are elementarily definable; there is no arithmetic description of all orbits of E; for all finite α ≥ 9, there is a properly ∆0 α orbit (from the proof). 1.
