Computably enumerable partial orders

We study the degree spectra and reverse-mathematical applications of computably enumerable and co-computably enumerable partial orders. We formulate versions of the chain/antichain principle and ascending/descending sequence principle for such orders, and show that the former is strictly stronger than the latter. We then show that every ${\mathrm{\varnothing }}^{\mathrm{\prime }}$-computable structure (or even just of c.e.\ degree) has the same degree spectrum as some computably enumerable (co-c.e.)\ partial order, and hence that there is a c.e.\ (co-c.e.)
partial order with spectrum equal to the set of nonzero degrees.
