One of the themes of computable model theory is concerned with the following two questions. Let T be a first order consistent theory. Does there exist a computable model of T? If T has a computable model then what is the Turing degree of T? It's well known that if T is decidable then T has a decidable model. On the other hand, if theory T has a computable model then T is computable in 0w. Goncharov and Khoussainov proved that for any natural number n ³ 1, there exist À1 -categorical computable models with the theories Turing equivalent to 0n. We use a modified construction to obtain the following result.

Any arithmetical Turing degree can be realized as the computability-theoretic complexity of À1 -categorical theory with computable model.
