A numbering of a set S is an arbitrary surjective mapping from naturals onto S. A numbering of S is called S0n-computable if S is a family of arithmetical sets and there is an effective procedure computing S0n-formulae which define the elements of S by the indices of these elements. We say that numbering is arithmetical if it is S0n-computable for some n. For any fixed n all S0n-computable numberings of some fixed S form a preordered structure with respect to usual reducibility relation; its quotient is an upper semilattice which we call Rogers semilattice and denote by Â0n(S).

Our talk is devoted to the different kind of problems concerned with the algebraic properties of Â0n(S) for various n and S. We consider the isomorphism types of initial segments and intervals in Â0n(S), covers, questions on an existence of the extremal elements of these semilattices, and other related topics.

We intend also to give a sketch of proofs of the following two results obtained recently.

For every n and every S0n+2-computable nontrivial family S, each Lachlan semilattice is isomorphic to an ideal of Rogers semilattice Â0n+2(S).

For every k and every discrete family S consisting of k+2 S02-sets, Rogers semilattice Â02(S) is isomorphic to the semilattice of c.e. m -degrees with its top removed.
