Abstract
The purpose of this article is to summarize some of the results on the algebraic structure of the computably enumerable (c.e.) sets since 1987 when the subject was covered in Soare 1987 , particularly Chapters X, XI, and XV. We study the c.e. sets as a partial ordering under inclusion, (E; `). We do not study the partial ordering of the c.e. degrees under Turing reducibility, although a number of the results here relate the algebraic structure of a c.e. set A to its (Turing) degree in the sense of the information content of A. We consider here various properties of E: (1) deønable properties; (2) automorphisms; (3) invariant properties; (4) decidability and undecidability results; miscellaneous results. This is not intended to be a comprehensive survey of all results in the subject since 1987, but we give a number of references in the bibliography to other results.
