Turing degrees and randomness for continuous measures

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We study degree-theoretic properties of reals that are not random with respect to any continuous probability measure (NCR). To this end, we introduce a family of generalized Hausdorff measures based on the iterates of the "dissipation" function of a continuous measure and study the effective nullsets given by the corresponding Solovay tests. We introduce two constructions that preserve non-randomness with respect to a given continuous measure. This enables us to prove the existence of NCR reals in a number of Turing degrees. In particular, we show that every Delta20-degree contains an NCR element.


A real is never continuous random (NCR for short) if it is not random with respect to any continuous measure. This notion has been studied by a number of people. But it is still unknown which Turing degree can contain such reals. In the paper under review, the authors prove some nice results to make some contributions to the topic. The major results are that any \(n\)-REA Turing degree contains an NCR real; and any selfmodule Turing degree contains an NCR real.
