Computable presentations of randomizations

Abstract

We initiate the effective metric structure theory of Keisler randomizations. We show that a classical countable structure M\mathcal{M} has a decidable presentation if and only if its Borel randomization M[0,1)\mathcal{M}^{[0,1)} has a computable presentation for which the constant functions are uniformly computable points. We determine a sufficient condition for which the uniform computability of the constant functions can be dropped. We show that when M\mathcal{M} is effectively ω\omega-categorical, then M[0,1)\mathcal{M}^{[0,1)} is computably categorical, that is, has a unique computable presentation up to computable isomorphism. A special case of this result is that the unique separable atomless probability algebra is computably categorical. Finally, we show that all randomizations admit effective quantifier elimination.
