I see two ways of interpreting this question, but the answer is essentially trivial either way. Interpretation 1: Can every hypercomputation model decide some language that cannot be decided by a Turing machine? Yes, because that is the definition of a hypercomputation model. A caveat: Technically, you could have a hypercomputation model that (as ...

Trivially every computable problem is reducible to $A_{TM}$. On the other extreme, there are plenty of problems which are $A_{TM}$ "in disguise," which is to say that they are Turing-equivalent to $A_{TM}$ - for example, it's a standard exercise to show that $$\{\langle M\rangle: M\mbox{ halts on input 0}\}$$ is Turing-equivalent to $A_{TM}$. A more ...

The study of models of computation extremely broadly construed is called "generalized recursion theory" (or "higher recursion theory," or "generalized/higher computability theory," or etc.). We can indeed rigorously define and study (from a theoretical standpoint of course) models of computation much stronger than what is "physically implementable" in even ...

Because the problem HALT defined in the online source is different from yours. Their HALT is defined as: \begin{align} \{ \langle M, w\rangle \mid{} &M\text{ is a Turing machine, $w$ is a string,}\\ &\text{and $M$ }accepts\text{ $w$ after a finite computation}\} \end{align}

I guess the answer is yes, but please check critically. One can easily construct an infinite recursive set of indices of $\phi$ (adding "comments" to a program). From this infinite recursive set one can pick out a non recursively enumerable subset.
