Computable covers for arithmetical collections of programming systems

Abstract
We obtain sufficient conditions for the existence of non-acceptable covers (with respect to the reducibility of numberings) for classes of numberings computable in the arithmetical hierarchy. These conditions, among other things, imply that the class of all Friedberg computable numberings has a non-acceptable computable cover and allow us to clarify the question of possible cardinalities of Rogers quotient semilattices with respect to arithmetical ideals. We also prove that the ideal in the Rogers semilattice of the family of all unary partial recursive functions generated by the direct sums of infinite sequences of its Friedberg-atoms is a proper subideal of the ideal of all its non-greatest elements.
