Abstract

We develop an approach to the longstanding conjecture of H.A. Kierstead concerning the character of strongly nontrivial automorphisms of computable linear orderings. Our main result is that for any η-like computable linear ordering B, such that B has no interval of order type η, and such that the order type of B is determined by a 0′-limitwise monotonic maximal block function, there exists computable L isomorphic to B such that L has no nontrivial Π^0_1 automorphism.
