On the maximality of degrees of metrics under computable reducibility

We study the semilattice $\mathcal{CM}_c(\mathbf{X})$ of degrees of computable metrics on a Polish space $\mathbf{X}$ under computable reducibility. It is proved that this semilattice does not have maximal elements if $\mathbf{X}$ is a noncompact space. It is also shown that the degree of the standard metric on the unit interval is maximal in the respective semilattice.
