Abstract

We show that the property of being locally constructivizable is inherited under Muchnik reducibility, which is weakest among the effective reducibilities considered over countable structures. It is stated that local constructivizability of level higher than 1 is inherited under Σ-reducibility but is not inherited under Medvedev reducibility. An example of a structure \(\mathfrak{M}\) and a relation PM is constructed for which \({\underline {({\mathfrak{M}},P)}} \equiv {\underline {\mathfrak{M}}} \) but \((\mathfrak{M},P)\) \(\mathfrak{M}\). Also, we point out a class of structures which are effectively defined by a family of their local theories.
