We prove various results on effective numberings and Friedberg numberings of families related to algorithmic randomness. The family of all Martin-L\"of random left-computably enumerable reals has a Friedberg numbering, as does the family of…

Kucera and Gacs independently showed that every infinite sequence is Turing reducible to a Martin-Lof random sequence. This result is extended by showing that every infinite sequence S is Turing reducible to a Martin-Lof random sequence R…

We investigate the sample path properties of Martin-L\"of random Brownian motion. We show (1) that many classical results which are known to hold almost surely hold for every Martin-L\"of random Brownian path, (2) that the effective…

Solomonoff's central result on induction is that the posterior of a universal semimeasure M converges rapidly and with probability 1 to the true sequence generating posterior mu, if the latter is computable. Hence, M is eligible as a…

Randomness is fundamental in quantum theory, with many philosophical and practical implications. In this paper we discuss the concept of algorithmic randomness, which provides a quantitative method to assess the Borel normality of a given…

One can consider $\mu$-Martin-L\"of randomness for a probability measure $\mu$ on $2^{\omega}$, such as the Bernoulli measure $\mu_p$ given $p \in (0, 1)$. We study Bernoulli randomness of sequences in $n^{\omega}$ with parameters $p_0,…

The van Lambalgen theorem is a surprising result in algorithmic information theory concerning the symmetry of relative randomness. It establishes that for any pair of infinite sequences $A$ and $B$, $B$ is Martin-L\"of random and $A$ is…

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 study the distribution of partial sums of Rademacher random multiplicative functions $(f(n))_n$ evaluated at polynomial arguments. We show that for a polynomial $P\in \mathbb Z[x]$ that is a product of at least two distinct linear…

This is a survey of constructive and computable measure theory with an emphasis on the close connections with algorithmic randomness. We give a brief history of constructive measure theory from Brouwer to the present, emphasizing how…

In 1970, Donald Ornstein proved a landmark result in dynamical systems, viz., two Bernoulli systems with the same entropy are isomorphic except for a measure 0 set. Keane and Smorodinsky gave a finitary proof of this result. They also…

Randomness is a crucial resource for a broad range of important applications, such as Monte Carlo simulation and computation, generative artificial intelligence and cryptography. But what is randomness? A widely accepted definition has…

A set C of reals is said to be negligible if there is no probabilistic algorithm which generates a member of C with positive probability. Various classes have been proven to be negligible, for example the Turing upper-cone of a…

We introduce a notion of computable randomness for infinite sequences that generalises the classical version in two important ways. First, our definition of computable randomness is associated with imprecise probability models, in the sense…

The notion of random sequence was introduced by Martin-Loef in 1966. At the same time he defined the so-called randomness deficiency function that shows how close are random sequences to non-random (in some natural sense). Other deficiency…
