Martin-L\"of (ML)-reducibility compares $K$-trivial sets by examining the Martin-L\"of random sequences that compute them. We show that every $K$-trivial set is computable from a c.e.\ set of the same ML-degree. We investigate the interplay…

In this paper, we study Bernoulli random sequences, i.e., sequences that are Martin-L\"of random with respect to a Bernoulli measure $\mu_p$ for some $p\in[0,1]$, where we allow for the possibility that $p$ is noncomputable. We focus in…

We study Doob's Consistency Theorem and Freedman's Inconsistency Theorem from the vantage point of computable probability and algorithmic randomness. We show that the Schnorr random elements of the parameter space are computably consistent,…

A real \alpha is called recursively enumerable ("r.e." for short) if there exists a computable, increasing sequence of rationals which converges to \alpha. It is known that the randomness of an r.e. real \alpha can be characterized in…

We obtain results concerning the so-called factorization for the convergence of random variables almost everywhere (almost surely or with probability one), belonging to the classical Lebesgue-Riesz spaces and we extend these results to the…

We investigate the role of continuous reductions and continuous relativisation in the context of higher randomness. We define a higher analogue of Turing reducibility and show that it interacts well with higher randomness, for example with…

A tree is pathwise-random if all of its paths are Martin-Lof random. We show that (a) no weakly 2-random real computes a perfect pathwise-random tree; it follows that the class of perfect pathwise-random trees is null, with respect to any…

In the theory of algorithmic randomness, several notions of random sequence are defined via a game-theoretic approach, and the notions that received most attention are perhaps Martin-Loef randomness and computable randomness. The latter…

We characterize Martin-L\"of randomness and Schnorr randomness in terms of the merging of opinions, along the lines of the Blackwell-Dubins Theorem. After setting up a general framework for defining notions of merging randomness, we focus…

We extend the notion of randomness (in the version introduced by Schnorr) to computable Probability Spaces and compare it to a dynamical notion of randomness: typicality. Roughly, a point is typical for some dynamic, if it follows the…

We study the randomness properties of reals with respect to arbitrary probability measures on Cantor space. We show that every non-computable real is non-trivially random with respect to some measure. The probability measures constructed in…

An infinite binary sequence is deemed to be random if it has all definable properties that hold almost surely for the usual probability measure on the set of infinite binary sequences. There are only countably many such properties, so it…

We show that polynomial-time randomness (p-randomness) is preserved under a variety of familiar operations, including addition and multiplication by a nonzero polynomial-time computable real number. These results follow from a general…

Martin-Lof's definition of random sequences of cbits as those not belonging to any set of constructive zero Lebesgue measure is reformulated in the language of Algebraic Probability Theory. The adoption of the Pour-El Richards theory of…

We show that $z\in\R^n$ is computably random if and only if every computable monotone function on $\R^n$ is differentiable at $z$.

Randomness comes in two qualitatively different forms. Apparent randomness can result both from ignorance or lack of control of degrees of freedom in the system. In contrast, intrinsic randomness should not be ascribable to any such cause.…

We say that $S\subset\mathbb Z$ is a set of $k$-recurrence if for every measure preserving transformation $T$ of a probability measure space $(X,\mu)$ and every $A\subseteq X$ with $\mu(A)>0$, there is an $n\in S$ such that $\mu(A\cap…

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 prove two theorems related to the Central Limit Theorem (CLT) for Martin-L\"of Random (MLR) sequences. Martin-L\"of randomness attempts to capture what it means for a sequence of bits to be "truly random". By contrast, CLTs do not make…

Every K-trivial set is computable from an incomplete Martin-L\"of random set, i.e., a Martin-L\"of random set that does not compute 0'.
