ML-randomness
ML-randomness is a central notion of algorithmic randomness for subsets of N, which defined in the following way.
Definition (Martin-L¨of [1])
(i) AMartin-L¨of test, or ML-test for short, is a uniformly c.e. sequence (Gm)m∈N of open sets such that ∀m ∈ N µ(Gm) ≤ 2−m.
(ii) A set Z ⊆ Nfailsthe test if Z ∈TmGm, otherwise Z passes the test. (iii) Z isML-random if Z passes each ML-test.

weakly 2-random
Definition (Kurtz [?])
(i) Ageneralized ML-test is a uniformly c.e. sequence (Gm)m∈N of open sets such that µ(TmGm) = 0.
(ii) Z isweakly 2-random if it passes every generalized ML-test.
weakly 2-random
Definition (Kurtz [?])
(i) Ageneralized ML-test is a uniformly c.e. sequence (Gm)m∈N of open sets such that µ(TmGm) = 0.
(ii) Z isweakly 2-random if it passes every generalized ML-test.
Fact
(i) 2-randomness ⇒ weak 2-randomness ⇒ ML-randomness. (ii) The reverse implication fails (Kurtz, Kautz).

Γ-randomness
We recall some notions in [3]. Definition
A set Z is Γ-randomif Z is ML-random relative to A for all A ∈ Γ. Any x-ML test for x ∈ Γ is called Γ-test.

Γ-randomness
We recall some notions in [3]. Definition
A set Z is Γ-randomif Z is ML-random relative to A for all A ∈ Γ. Any x-ML test for x ∈ Γ is called Γ-test.
Γ-randomness is called L-randomnessif Γ is the set of low sets. Obviously, any L-random set is ML-random. For any set Z , Z is not 1-random in Z . Thus, each low set is not L-random. Hence, L-randomness is strictly stronger than ML-randomness since there is a low ML-random set.
Usually, randomness notions stronger than ML-randomness are closed down- wards under Turing reducibility within the random sets. The notions we study here are not exception.
Proposition
Let X , Y be ML-random sets. If X ≤T Y and Y is L-random, then X is L-random.

Proposition
Let X , Y be ML-random sets. If X ≤T Y and Y is L-random, then X is L-random.
In fact, it turned out that L-randomness is equivalent to ∅′-Schnorr randomness.
Theorem (Yu [4])
L-randomness is equivalent to ∅′-Schnorr randomness.
Characterization of L-randomness
A ≤LR B iff for any X , if X is B-random, then X is A-random. We would like to introduce another characterization of L-randomness. Then, the next lemma is useful.
Lemma
Let Γ, Γ′ ⊂ NN such that for any f ∈ Γ there is a function g ∈ Γ ∩ Γ′ with f ≤LR g . Then, Γ randomness is equivalent to Γ ∩ Γ′ randomness.

Lemma
Let Γ, Γ′ ⊂ NN such that for any f ∈ Γ there is a function g ∈ Γ ∩ Γ′ with f ≤LR g . Then, Γ randomness is equivalent to Γ ∩ Γ′ randomness.
Proof.
For any Γ-test {Unf}n∈N, there exists Γ ∩ Γ′ test {Vng}n∈N such that
T Uf ⊆T Vg, since f ≤ g . Then, Γ ∩ Γ′ randomness implies Γ
1-generic
Definition
An r.e. set W ⊂ 2<N is said to be dense alongx ∈ 2N iff (∀n ∈ N)(∃σ ∈ W )[x ↾ n ⊂ σ]. x is said to be 1-genericiff for any r.e. set W ⊂ 2<N
W is dense along x =⇒ (∃n ∈ N)[x ↾ n ∈ W ].

W is dense along x =⇒ (∃n ∈ N)[x ↾ n ∈ W ].
Let G denote the set of 1-generic reals x such that x ≤T ∅′. Note that if x is 1-generic, then x is a generalized low set. Hence any G-test can be
By previous Lemma, L randomness can be also given by subsets of L as follows. PA denotes the set of reals of PA degrees.
Proposition
The following are equivalent: (i) X is L randomness, (ii) X is L ∩ G randomness, (iii) X is L ∩ PA randomness.

Proposition
The following are equivalent: (i) X is L randomness, (ii) X is L ∩ G randomness, (iii) X is L ∩ PA randomness.
Proof.
(ii) ⇒ (i) is proved from previous Lemma since there exsits a low g such that g is 1-generic relative to f and f ≤T g , for any low f . (iii) ⇒ (i) is the same.
Let MLR denote the class of ML-random reals. Conjecture
L randomness is equivalent to L ∩ MLR randomness,
In other word, L randomness ⇔ {x | ∀ y : low & ML-random, x is y-random }

semi Γ-randomness
Motivation
The present paper is concerned with the algorithmic notion of
randomness such as originally introduced by P. Martin-L¨of [1] in 1966. One approach is to generalize the Martin-L¨of-test by giving the m-th component (a c.e. set of measure at most 2−m) via a function in some function class Γ.
A main purpose of this paper is to give a general framework for such randomness notions.
To do this, we introduce the notion of semi Γ-randomness.

Semi Γ-random
In this section, we investigate a new randomness notion weaker than Γ-random. We concentrate on index function for the componets of a test. Definition
Let Γ ⊆ NN:
1 We say that a sequence {Gn}n∈N of c.e open sets is a Γ-indexed test if and only if there exists f ∈ Γ such that Gn = Wf(n) for all n ∈ N and µ(Gn) ≤ 2−n.
2 A set Z ⊆ Nfails the test if Z ∈TnGn, otherwise Z passes the test.
3 A issemi Γ-randomif it passes every Γ-indexed test.
Note that, there is no semi NN-random set. It is straightforward from the
Theorem

Theorem
A set is semi ∆02-random if and only if it is weakly 2-random.
Proposition
Every L-random real is semi L-random.
Theorem
For any Γ ⊂ NN, there is no universal Γ indexed Martin-L¨of test unless any Martin-L¨of random set is semi Γ-random.
Separation between random notions
The following lemma is for separation between weak randomness and semi Γ-randomness.
Lemma
For any Γ, Γ′ ⊂ NNsuch that Γ randomness is not equivalent to Martin-L¨of randomness and Γ′ is countable, there exists a semi Γ′ random real which is not Γ random.

Proof of Lemma
Choose a Martin-L¨of random f which is in Ti ∈NVi, where {Vi}i ∈N is a
universal g -Martin-L¨of test for some g ∈ Γ.
Let {{Ugi(j)}j ∈N}i ∈N be a sequence of all Γ′ indexed test.
Proof of Lemma
Choose a Martin-L¨of random f which is in Ti ∈NVi, where {Vi}i ∈N is a
universal g -Martin-L¨of test for some g ∈ Γ.
Let {{Ugi(j)}j ∈N}i ∈N be a sequence of all Γ′ indexed test.
We construct a function h and a ⊂-increasing sequence {σi}i ∈N such that [σi] ⊂ Vi and (limj →∞σj) 6∈ Ugi(h(i)) for any i ∈ N.
Then a semi Γ′-random Sσi is not Γ-random.

Stage s: Let σ =Si <sσi. As the inductive hypothesis, we suppose that µ([σ] \Si <sUgi(h(i))) > 0.
Defineh(s) by the least number x such that µ([σ] \ ([

Theorem
If n > 2, then weakly n randomness is strictly stronger than semi
∆0n-randomness.
Theorem
If n > 2, then weakly n randomness is strictly stronger than semi
∆0n-randomness.
Proof.
It is clear that weakly n randomness is stronger than semi ∆0n randomness. This relation is strict since weakly n randomness is stronger that n − 1 randomness which contains some Martin-L¨of random set so that we can apply to the previous Lemma.

Finally, we consider the case around n = 2. Lemma
There exists a Π01(∅′) null set P containing a semi L random element.
Proof sketch:
Let f be a strictly increasing ∅′-computable function such that no low function dominates f and 2f (x) ≤ 2f(x)−f (x−1).
Let F refer to the set
{σ ∈ N<N| (∀i < lh(σ))[σ(i) < f (i)]}.
We define a ∅′-computable function A : F → Pf(N) as follows: A(σ) = {i ≤ lh(σ) | µ([Wσ(i)]) ≤ 2−i −f(i)}.
NingNing Peng (Mathematical Institute, Tohoku University. [email protected])Relative Randomness for Martin-L¨of random sets February 23, 2012 25 / 31
Let B(σ) be an element τ ∈ 2f(lh(σ)) such that µ([τ ] \ ( [
i ∈A(σ)
[Wσ(i)])) ≥ 2−lh(στ )−1
for all σ ∈ F . Define a Π01(∅′) null set P by P = [B(F )].
Let {{Whi(x)}x ∈N}i ∈N be a sequence of all L indexed test. (Indeed, we gives some technical assumption to hi’s.) Then we can construct a
⊂-increasing sequence {σi}i ∈N of elements of F and a function h : N → N such that limi →∞B(σi) 6∈ [Whj(h(j))]. SoSB(σi) ∈ P is semi L random.
The following is straightfoward from Lemma 13. Theorem

The following is straightfoward from Lemma 13. Theorem
Weakly 2 randomness is strictly stronger than semi L-randomness
Proof.
This is because for any Π01(∅′) null set P there exists a generalized Martin-L¨of test {Ui}i ∈N such that P =Ti ∈NUi.
Proposition
2-randomness does not imply semi ∆03-randomness.

Proposition
2-randomness does not imply semi ∆03-randomness.
Proof.
Since there is a ∆03 2 random set, we show that there is no ∆03 semi
∆03-random set. Let A be a ∆03 set, then there is a ∆03 function f such that Wf(n)= {Akn}. Note that Wf(n) is a singleton set where only element is Akn and µ(Wf(n)) ≤ 2−n. So, {Wf(n)}n∈N is a semi ∆03-test. But A ∈Tn∈NWf(n). Hence, A is not semi ∆03-random.
Future Study
Conjecture
L randomness is equivalent to L ∩ MLR randomness, Conjecture
smei L-randomness and Demuth randomness are incompareble.
Question
Is the a characterization of ∅′-computable randomness via ML randomness?
