If is a countable recursively saturated structure and T is a recursively axiomatizable theory that is consistent with Th(
), then it is well known that
can be expanded to a recursively saturated model of T [7, p. 186]. This is what has made recursively saturated models useful in model theory. Recursive saturation is the weakest notion of saturation for which this expandability result holds. In fact, if
is a countable model of Pr = Th(ω, +), then
can be expanded to a model of first order Peano arithmetic P just in case
is recursively saturated (see [3]).
In this paper we investigate two natural sets of Turing degrees that tell a good deal about the expandability of a given structure. If is a recursively saturated structure, I(
) consists of the degrees of sets that are recursive in complete types realized in
. The second set of degrees, D(
), consists of the degrees of sets S such that
is recursive in S-saturated. In general, I(
) ⊆ D(
). Moreover, I(
) is obviously an “ideal” of degrees. For countable structures
, D(
) is “closed” in the following sense: For any class C ⊆ 2ω, if C is co-r.e. in S for some set S such that
, then there is some σ ∈ C such that
. For uncountable structures
, we do not know whether D(
) must be closed.
