Computably discrete represented spaces

Abstract: In computable topology, a represented space is called computably discrete if its equality predicate is semidecidable. While any such space is classically isomorphic to an initial segment of the natural numbers, the computable-isomorphism types of computably discrete represented spaces exhibit a rich structure. We show that the widely studied class of computably enumerable equivalence relations (ceers) corresponds precisely to the computably Quasi-Polish computably discrete spaces. We employ computably discrete spaces to exhibit several separating examples in computable topology. We construct a computably discrete computably Quasi-Polish space admitting no decidable properties, a computably discrete and computably Hausdorff precomputably Quasi-Polish space admitting no computable injection into the natural numbers, a two-point space which is computably Hausdorff but not computably discrete, and a two-point space which is computably discrete but not computably Hausdorff. We further expand an example due to Weihrauch that separates computably regular spaces from computably normal spaces.
