Apr 9, 2011 at 15:45 comment added Andrés E. Caicedo @puzne: It is not just Turing degrees that you were looking for, since you are specifically asking for r.e. sets. What you are interested in is the class of r.e. degrees, and Soare's book mentioned before by Carl is probably the best reference to get started. If you want to get a quick idea of the landscape, you may want to read first the nice paper by Shore, "Degree Structures: Local and Global Investigations", Bulletin of Symbolic Logic, 12 (2006), 369-389. It is available at his website, math.cornell.edu/~shore/papers/pdf/RetPresrv2.pdf
Apr 9, 2011 at 12:36 comment added puzne Thanks all. I guess the term I was missing was "Turing degree". With that I would have found the following wikipedia entry, which I am listing for future reference. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turing_degree
