Using almost-everywhere theorems from analysis to study randomness

Logic 2016-03-22 v2

Abstract

We study algorithmic randomness notions via effective versions of almost-everywhere theorems from analysis and ergodic theory. The effectivization is in terms of objects described by a computably enumerable set, such as lower semicomputable functions. The corresponding randomness notions are slightly stronger than \ML\ (ML) randomness. We establish several equivalences. Given a ML-random real zz, the additional randomness strengths needed for the following are equivalent. \n (1) all effectively closed classes containing zz have density 11 at zz. \n (2) all nondecreasing functions with uniformly left-c.e.\ increments are differentiable at zz. \n (3) zz is a Lebesgue point of each lower semicomputable integrable function. We also consider convergence of left-c.e.\ martingales, and convergence in the sense of Birkhoff's pointwise ergodic theorem. Lastly we study randomness notions for density of Πn0\Pi^0_n and Σ11\Sigma^1_1 classes.
