We continue the study of computable embeddings for pairs of structures, i.e. for classes containing precisely two non-isomorphic structures. Surprisingly, even for some pairs of simple linear orders, computable embeddings induce a…

We study the degrees of selector functions related to the degrees in which a rigid computable structure is relatively computably categorical. It is proved that for some structures such degrees can be represented as the unions of upper cones…

We investigate conditions under which a co-computably enumerable closed set in a computable metric space is computable and prove that in each locally computable computable metric space each co-computably enumerable compact manifold with…

We consider the set of infinite real traces, over a dependence alphabet (Gamma, D) with no isolated letter, equipped with the topology induced by the prefix metric. We then prove that all rational languages of infinite real traces are…

We study the relative complexity of equivalence relations and preorders from computability theory and complexity theory. Given binary relations $R, S$, a componentwise reducibility is defined by $ R\le S \iff \ex f \, \forall x, y \, [xRy…

We present a generalization of standard Turing machines based on allowing unusual tapes. We present a set of reasonable constraints on tape geometry and classify all tapes conforming to these constraints. Surprisingly, this generalization…

Theories of classification distinguish classes with some good structure theorem from those for which none is possible. Some classes (dense linear orders, for instance) are non-classifiable in general, but are classifiable when we consider…

We examine deterministic and nondeterministic state complexities of regular operations on prefix-free languages. We strengthen several results by providing witness languages over smaller alphabets, usually as small as possible. We next…

Joseph Miller [16] and independently Andre Nies, Frank Stephan and Sebastiaan Terwijn [18] gave a complexity characterization of 2-random sequences in terms of plain Kolmogorov complexity C: they are sequences that have infinitely many…

Although algorithmic randomness with respect to various non-uniform computable measures is well-studied, little attention has been paid to algorithmic randomness with respect to computable \emph{trivial} measures, where a measure $\mu$ on…

Although $S_\infty$ (the group of all permutations of $\mathbb{N}$) is size continuum, both it and its closed subgroups can be presented as the set of paths through a countable tree. The subgroups of $S_\infty$ that can be presented this…

A computable graph $\mathcal{G}$ is computably categorical relative to a degree $\mathbf{d}$ if and only if for all $\mathbf{d}$-computable copies $\mathcal{B}$ of $\mathcal{G}$, there is a $\mathbf{d}$-computable isomorphism…

We construct an abstract elementary class $K_1$ of torsion-free abelian groups such that $K_1$ is not $(<\aleph_0)$-tame but is $\aleph_0$-tame. This answers a question of [BoVa17]. Furthermore, for every regular uncountable cardinal $\mu$…

For $r \in [0,1]$ we say that a set $A \subseteq \omega$ is \emph{coarsely computable at density} $r$ if there is a computable set $C$ such that $\{n : C(n) = A(n)\}$ has lower density at least $r$. Let $\gamma(A) = \sup \{r : A \hbox{ is…

Richter, Stephan, and Zhang asked whether every nonrecursive many-one degree contains a least finite-one degree. We solve this question in the negative, already within the class of computably enumerable many-one degrees. Positive answers…

Let $T$ be a rooted tree, and $V(T)$ its set of vertices. A subset $X$ of $V(T)$ is called an infima closed set of $T$ if for any two vertices $u,v\in X$, the first common ancestor of $u$ and $v$ is also in $X$. This paper determines the…
