Khutoretskii's Theorem states that the Rogers semilattice of any family of
c.e. sets has either at most one or infinitely many elements. A lemma in the
inductive step of the proof shows that no Rogers semilattice can be
partitioned into a principal ideal and a principal filter.
We show that such a partitioning is possible for some family of d.c.e. sets.
In fact, we construct a family of c.e. sets which, when viewed as a family
of d.c.e. sets, has (up to equivalence) exactly two computable Friedberg
numberings μ and ν, and μ reduces to any computable numbering not
equivalent to ν.
The question of whether the full statement of Khutoretskii's Theorem fails
for families of d.c.e. sets remains open.
