We show that every strongly jump-traceable set obeys every benign cost function. Moreover, we show that every strongly jump-traceable set is computable from a computably enumerable strongly jump-traceable set. This allows us to generalise…

Unlike Martin-L\"of randomness and Schnorr randomness, computable randomness has not been defined, except for a few ad hoc cases, outside of Cantor space. This paper offers such a definition (actually, several equivalent definitions), and…

This article expands our work in [Ca16]. By its reliance on Turing computability, the classical theory of effectivity, along with effective reducibility and Weihrauch reducibility, is only applicable to objects that are either countable or…

We extend the key notion of Martin-L\"of randomness for infinite bit sequences to the quantum setting, where the sequences become states of an infinite dimensional system. We work towards showing an analogy with the Levin-Schnorr theorem to…

Within the last fifteen years, a program of establishing relationships between algorithmic randomness and almost-everywhere theorems in analysis and ergodic theory has developed. In harmonic analysis, Franklin, McNicholl, and Rute…

Reimann and Slaman initiated the study of sequences that are Martin-L\"of random with respect to a continuous measure, establishing fundamental facts about NCR, the collection of sequences that are not Martin-L\"of random with respect to…

According to the Church-Turing Thesis (CTT), effective formal behaviours can be simulated by Turing machines; this has naturally led to speculation that physical systems can also be simulated computationally. But is this wider claim true,…

We present two theorems concerned with algorithmic randomness and differentiability of functions of several variables. Firstly, we prove an effective form of the Rademacher's Theorem: we show that computable randomness implies…

We characterize the points that satisfy Birkhoff's ergodic theorem under certain computability conditions in terms of algorithmic randomness. First, we use the method of cutting and stacking to show that if an element x of the Cantor space…

We consider effective versions of two classical theorems, the Lebesgue density theorem and the Denjoy-Young-Saks theorem. For the first, we show that a Martin-Loef random real $z\in [0,1]$ is Turing incomplete if and only if every…

A result of Shen says that if $F\colon2^{\mathbb{N}}\rightarrow2^{\mathbb{N}}$ is an almost-everywhere computable, measure-preserving transformation, and $y\in2^{\mathbb{N}}$ is Martin-L\"of random, then there is a Martin-L\"of random…

A real number \alpha is called recursively enumerable if there exists a computable, increasing sequence of rational numbers which converges to \alpha. The randomness of a recursively enumerable real \alpha can be characterized in various…

We show that a computable function $f:\mathbb R\rightarrow\mathbb R$ has Luzin's property (N) if and only if it reflects $\Pi^1_1$-randomnes, if and only if it reflects $\Delta^1_1(\mathcal O)$-randomness, and if and only if it reflects…

A Martin-L\"of test $\mathcal U$ is universal if it captures all non-Martin-L\"of random sequences, and it is optimal if for every ML-test $\mathcal V$ there is a $c \in \omega$ such that $\forall n(\mathcal{V}_{n+c} \subseteq…

We consider an old question of Slaman and Steel: whether Turing equivalence is an increasing union of Borel equivalence relations none of which contain a uniformly computable infinite sequence. We show this question is deeply connected to…

Martin's Conjecture states that every definable function on the Turing degrees is either constant or increasing, and that every increasing function is an iterate of the Turing jump. This classification has already been corroborated for the…

Beginning with Turing's seminal work in 1950, artificial intelligence proposes that consciousness can be simulated by a Turing machine. This implies a potential theory of everything where the universe is a simulation on a computer, which…
