Executive Summary :

One of the central open problems in Computability theory was asked by Sacks in 1963: Does every locally countable partially ordered set of size continuum embed into the Turing degrees? In light of some recent developments, there is a renewed interest in this problem. We plan to investigate this and several other related problems about the global structure of Turing degrees using tools from both set theory and computability theory.
