Project description

In classical analysis, topological spaces being equivalent up to homeomorphism forms an equivalence relation. However in computable analysis, A being computably homeomorphic to B does not necessarily mean that B is computably homeomorphic to B. The computable homeomorphism relation therefore induces a preorder on presentations of the space, and even for simple structures like the unit interval, this is not well understood.

We will investigate the degree structure of the unit interval in order to understand its computable presentations.

This project is for a single student.
