We introduce two notions of effective reducibility for set-theoretical statements, based on computability with Ordinal Turing Machines (OTMs), one of which resembles Turing reducibility while the other is modelled after Weihrauch…

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…

In \cite{Ca2016} and \cite{Ca2018}, we introduced a notion of effective reducibility between set-theoretical $\Pi_{2}$-statements; in \cite{Ca2025}, this was extended to statements of arbitrary (potentially even infinite) quantifier…

We analyze the effect of replacing several natural uses of definability in set theory by the weaker model-theoretic notion of algebraicity. We find, for example, that the class of hereditarily ordinal algebraic sets is the same as the class…

We consider the computational strength of Power-OTMs, i.e., ordinal Turing machines equipped with a power set operator, and study a notion of realizability based on these machines. When parameters are allowed, these machines are, modulo…

Continuing the study of complexity theory of Koepke's Ordinal Turing Machines (OTMs) that was started by Rin, L\"owe and the author, we prove the following results: (1) An analogue of Ladner's theorem for OTMs holds: That is, there are…

A set is autoreducible if it can be reduced to itself by a Turing machine that does not ask its own input to the oracle. We use autoreducibility to separate the polynomial-time hierarchy from polynomial space by showing that all…

A relatively new topic in computability theory is the study of notions of computation that are robust against mistakes on some kind of small set. However, despite the recent popularity of this topic relatively foundational questions about…

We introduce a realisability semantics for infinitary intuitionistic set theory that is based on Ordinal Turing Machines (OTMs). We show that our notion of OTM-realisability is sound with respect to certain systems of infinitary…

We develop synthetic notions of oracle computability and Turing reducibility in the Calculus of Inductive Constructions (CIC), the constructive type theory underlying the Coq proof assistant. As usual in synthetic approaches, we employ a…

In this paper we explore fundamental concepts in computational complexity theory and the boundaries of algorithmic decidability. We examine the relationship between complexity classes \textbf{P} and \textbf{NP}, where $L \in \textbf{P}$…

A coarse description of a subset A of omega is a subset D of omega such that the symmetric difference of A and D has asymptotic density 0. We study the extent to which noncomputable information can be effectively recovered from all coarse…

Cantor's ordinal numbers, a powerful extension of the natural numbers, are a cornerstone of set theory. They can be used to reason about the termination of processes, prove the consistency of logical systems, and justify some of the core…

In this paper, we have compared r.e. sets based on their enumeration orders with Turing machines. Accordingly, we have defined novel concept uniformity for Turing machines and r.e. sets and have studied some relationships between uniformity…

In this paper we have investigated enumeration orders of elements of r.e. sets enumerated by means of Turing machines. We have defined a reducibility based on enumeration orders named "Enumeration Order Reducibility" on computable functions…

The notion of weak truth-table reducibility plays an important role in recursion theory. In this paper, we introduce an elaboration of this notion, where a computable bound on the use function is explicitly specified. This elaboration…

We introduce a notion of realizability with ordinal Turing machines based on recognizability rather than computability, i.e., the ability to uniquely identify an object. We show that the arising concept of $r$-realizabilty has the property…

We extend in a natural way the operation of Turing machines to infinite ordinal time, and investigate the resulting supertask theory of computability and decidability on the reals. The resulting computability theory leads to a notion of…

Although there is a somewhat standard formalization of computability on countable sets given by Turing machines, the same cannot be said about uncountable sets. Among the approaches to define computability in these sets, order-theoretic…
