Degrees of bi-embeddable categoricity of equivalence structures

We study the algorithmic complexity of embeddings between bi-embeddable equivalence structures. We define the notions of computable bi-embeddable categoricity, (relative) $Delta^0_alpha$ bi-embeddable categoricity, and degrees of bi-embeddable categoricity. These notions mirror the classical notions used to study the complexity of isomorphisms between structures. We show that the notions of $Delta^0_alpha$ bi-embeddable categoricity and relative $Delta^0_alpha$ bi-embeddable categoricity coincide for equivalence structures for $alpha=1,2,3$. We also prove that computable equivalence structures have degree of bi-embeddable categoricity $mathbf{0},mathbf{0}$, or $mathbf{0}$. We obtain results on index sets of computable equivalence structure with respect to bi-embeddability.
