Computable Homogeneous Boolean Algebras

We propose a criterion saying when a homogeneous Boolean algebra has a computable copy. Andrei Morozov proved that such an algebra can be described by an invariant which is a subset of the set of natural numbers.

We introduce a hierarchy of D0w -sets which generalizes Feiner's hierarchy. A countable homogeneous Boolean algebra has a computable copy if and only if its invariant belongs to a class of this hierarchy.

A way to pass from a hyperarithmetical quotient Boolean algebra to a computable Boolean algebra is also considered.
