In a previous paper we introduced a version of associativity for a partial infinitary operation. We prove here that if $\gamma$ is an infinite ordinal and some associative infinitary operation is defined for all sequences indexed by…
If we define classical foundational concepts constructively, and introduce non-algorithmic effective methods into classical mathematics, then we can bridge the chasm between truth and provability, and define computational methods that are…
The aim of this paper is to present an elementary computable theory of random variables, based on the approach to probability via valuations. The theory is based on a type of lower-measurable sets, which are controlled limits of open sets,…
We prove a computable version of de Finetti's theorem on exchangeable sequences of real random variables. As a consequence, exchangeable stochastic processes expressed in probabilistic functional programming languages can be automatically…
We initiate the effective study of conditional expectations onto subfactors. Our main result is that if $M$ is an existentially closed II$_1$ factor with a w-spectral gap subfactor $N$, then the conditional expectation function onto $N$ can…
Infinite time Turing machines (ITTMs) have been introduced by Hamkins and Lewis in their seminal article arXiv:math/9808093. The strength of the model comes from a limit rule which allows the ITTM to compute through ordinal stages. This…
The concept of ``countable set'' is attributed to Georg Cantor, who set the boundary between countable and uncountable sets in 1874. The concept of ``computable set'' arose in the study of computing models in the 1930s by the founders of…
Many different definitions of computational universality for various types of dynamical systems have flourished since Turing's work. We propose a general definition of universality that applies to arbitrary discrete time symbolic dynamical…
We show that the order dimension of the partial order of all finite subsets of $\kappa$ under set inclusion is ${\log}_{2}({\log}_{2}(\kappa))$ whenever $\kappa$ is an infinite cardinal. We also show that the order dimension of any locally…
We revisit the question (most famously) initiated by Turing: can human intelligence be completely modeled by a Turing machine? We show that the answer is \emph{no}, assuming a certain weak soundness hypothesis. More specifically we show…
In computability theory and computable analysis, finite programs can compute infinite objects. Presenting a computable object via any program for it, provides at least as much information as presenting the object itself, written on an…
The TTE approach to Computable Analysis is the study of so-called representations (encodings for continuous objects such as reals, functions, and sets) with respect to the notions of computability they induce. A rich variety of such…
Kawamura and Cook have developed a framework for studying the computability and complexity theoretic problems over "large" topological spaces. This framework has been applied to study the complexity of the differential operator and the…
We construct a two-dimensional Turing machine that is physically universal in both the moving tape and moving head model. In particular, it is mixing of all finite orders in both models. We also provide a variant that is physically…
In previous work, we have combined computable structure theory and algorithmic learning theory to study which families of algebraic structures are learnable in the limit (up to isomorphism). In this paper, we measure the computational power…
What is computable with limited resources? How can we verify the correctness of computations? How to measure computational power with precision? Despite the immense scientific and engineering progress in computing, we still have only…
We construct natural maps (the Klein and Wirtinger maps) from moduli spaces of vector bundles on an algebraic curve $X$ to affine spaces, as quotients of the nonabelian theta linear series. We prove a finiteness result for these maps over…
In this paper, a computably definable predicate is defined and characterized. Then, it is proved that every separable infinite-dimensional Hilbert structure in an effectively presented language is computable. Moreover, every definable…
Infinite time Turing machines are extended in several ways to allow for iterated oracle calls. The expressive power of these machines is discussed and in some cases determined.
In the article 'Ordinal Logics and the Characterizations of the Informal Concept of Proof', Georg Kreisel poses the problem of assigning unique notations to recursive ordinals, and additionally suggests that the methods which are developed…
