On the Normality of Numbers to Different Bases

Number Theory 2017-05-17 v1

Abstract

We prove independence of normality to different bases We show that the set of real numbers that are normal to some base is Sigma^0_4 complete in the Borel hierarchy of subsets of real numbers. This was an open problem, initiated by Alexander Kechris, and conjectured by Ditzen 20 years ago.
