Lov\'asz Local Lemma (LLL) is a probabilistic tool that allows us to prove the existence of combinatorial objects in the cases when standard probabilistic argument does not work (there are many partly independent conditions). LLL can be…

The lefthanded Lov\'asz local lemma (LLLL) is a generalization of the Lov\'asz local lemma (LLL), a powerful technique from the probabilistic method. We prove a computable version of the LLLL and use it to effectivize a collection of…

In the general context of computable metric spaces and computable measures we prove a kind of constructive Borel-Cantelli lemma: given a sequence (constructive in some way) of sets $A_{i}$ with effectively summable measures, there are…

The Lovasz Local Lemma (LLL) is a powerful tool in probability theory to show the existence of combinatorial objects meeting a prescribed collection of "weakly dependent" criteria. We show that the LLL extends to a much more general…

The recently proven Quantum Lovasz Local Lemma generalises the well-known Lovasz Local Lemma. It states that, if a collection of subspace constraints are "weakly dependent", there necessarily exists a state satisfying all constraints. It…
