2 What are shift-complex sequences? K denotes prefix-free Kolmogorov complexity: For a string σ, K(σ) is the length of a shortest description of σ with respect to some prefix-free universal Turing machine. Initial segments of Martin-Löf randoms have high Kolmogorov complexity in the following sense: Theorem (Schnorr) A sequence X 2 ω is Martin-Löf random if and only if K(X n) n O(1). Contiguous substrings of Martin-Löf randoms fail to have this property.
3 What are shift-complex sequences? Question Are there sequences that are uniformly complex wherever we look? Definition Let δ (0, 1). A sequence X 2 ω is δ-shift-complex if for every substring σ of X, K(σ) δ σ O(1). Note: Every δ-shift-complex sequence with respect to K is also shift-complex with respect to C (plain complexity) for a slightly lower δ and vice versa.
4 Constructions Durand, Levin and Shen 2001 Builds a shift-complex sequence via extensions of constant length. Simple, but not easily effectivized. Rumyantsev and Ushakov 2006 Uses the Lovász Local Lemma and compactness. Miller 2010 Provides a condition on a set of forbidden strings that suffices (but is not necessary) to ensure the existence of a sequence which avoids it.
5 Constructions Theorem (Miller) Let S 2 <ω. If there is a c (1/2, 1) such that c τ 2c 1, τ S then there is an X 2 ω that avoids S. The condition is merely on the lengths of strings in S. For an appropriately chosen constant b, the set of strings σ such that K(σ) < δ σ b satisfies the condition. Further, this theorem is effective: Proposition Let S be as in the theorem above. There is an X T S that avoids S.
6 A few quick observations A 2 ω is δ-shift-complex with constant b if and only if ( n 1 n 2 > n 1 s)[k s (A n2 n 1 ) δ(n 2 n 1 ) b]. This a Π 0 1 condition. By any of the constructions just mentioned, for each δ, there is a nonempty Π 0 1 class of δ-shift-complex sequences. Thus, every PA degree computes a δ-shift-complex sequence. The basis theorems show that there are low and hyperimmune-free δ-shift-complex sequences. The class of shift-complex sequences has zero measure and is meager.
7 What computes shift-complex sequences? Theorem (Rumyantsev) The measure of oracles that compute shift-complex sequences is 0. Key observation: every shift-complex sequence either has a lot of strings of each length, or computes something of higher shift-complexity. More precisely: Definition We say that a shift-complex sequence Y is abundant if for some n, Y is δ-shift-complex for some δ > 1/n and further, for every m, Y contains at least 2 m(n 1)/n strings of length m. Lemma Every shift-complex sequence computes an abundant shift-complex sequence.
8 What computes shift-complex sequences? Proof sketch of Rumyantsev s theorem Assume a positive measure set of oracles computes shift-complex sequences, hence abundant shift-complex sequences. Fix a functional Γ such that a positive measure set of oracles computes shift-complex sequences that are abundant for some n. Each oracle computes a lot of strings of each length, so there must exist strings computed by a large measure of oracles. Compress such strings when they appear.
9 What computes shift-complex sequences? Question How random does an oracle have to be to ensure that it does not compute a shift-complex sequence? Using Rumyantsev s theorem as a black box, one can prove: Corollary No weak 2-random real computes a shift-complex sequence. With a little effort, one can do better.
10 What computes shift-complex sequences? Recall that a Martin-Löf test is a uniform sequence (U i ) i ω of Σ 0 1 open sets such that µ(u i ) 2 i. A real passes a Martin-Löf test (U i ) i ω if it is not contained in i ω U i. Franklin and Ng introduce a notion of randomness called difference randomness and show it to be strictly intermediate between weak 2-randomness and Martin-Löf randomness. Definition (Franklin and Ng 2011) A difference test is a uniform sequence of pairs (U i, V i ) of Σ 0 1 open sets such that µ(u i \ V i ) 2 i. A real passes a difference test ((U i, V i )) i ω if it is not contained in i ω (U i \ V i ). A real is difference random if it passes all difference tests.
11 What computes shift-complex sequences? We already know the difference randoms in another guise: Theorem (Franklin and Ng 2011) The difference random reals are precisely the incomplete Martin-Löf random reals. Further, no difference random is of PA degree: Theorem (Stephan 2002) A Martin-Löf random has PA degree if and only if it is complete.
12 What computes shift-complex sequences? If Y computes a shift-complex sequence then we can trap it with a difference test: Theorem (K.) No difference random real computes a shift-complex sequence. Clearly, every complete Martin-Löf random real computes a shift-complex sequence, so we have: Corollary A Martin-Löf random real computes a shift-complex sequence if and only if it is complete.
13 Computing Martin-Löf randoms Question Does every shift-complex sequence compute a Martin-Löf random? We want to bound a shift-complex sequence by something weaker than a PA degree. Idea: Use a slow-growing diagonally noncomputable (DNC) function. Recall that a function f : ω ω is diagonally noncomputable if f(e) Φ e (e) for any e such that Φ e (e).
14 Computing Martin-Löf randoms Definition For any non-decreasing function h : ω ω \ {0, 1}, DNC h = {f DNC ( n)f(n) < h(n)}. Note: If h is a constant function, then any f DNC h is of PA degree. If we allow h to grow unboundedly, we can obtain something weaker: Theorem (Greenberg and Miller 2011) For any non-decreasing, unbounded, computable function h : ω ω \ {0, 1}, there is an f DNC h that does not compute a Martin-Löf random real.
15 Computing Martin-Löf randoms Theorem (K.) For every δ (0, 1) there is a non-decreasing, unbounded, computable function h : ω ω \ {0, 1} such that every f DNC h computes a δ-shift-complex sequence. Proof sketch Let S = {σ 2 <ω K(σ) < δ σ } and let S m = S 2 m. Uniformly in m, we can cover S m with a set S m 2 m, using any function f of sufficient DNC strength. Further, as m increases, the required DNC strength decreases. Using the uniformity above, produce an h such that every f DNC h computes an S 2 <ω that 1 covers S except for finitely many strings 2 satisfies the hypothesis of Miller s theorem
16 Computing Martin-Löf randoms Corollary For every δ (0, 1) there is a δ-shift-complex sequence that does not compute any Martin-Löf random.
17 Open questions Definition The effective Hausdorff dimension of a real X, denoted by dim(x), is lim inf n K(X n) n Clearly, a δ-shift-complex sequence has effective Hausdorff dimension at least δ. Question Do there exist δ-shift-complex sequences that have effective Hausdorff dimension exactly δ? We know now that a shift-complex sequence need not compute a Martin-Löf random. However, the following is still open: Question Does every shift-complex sequence compute a real of effective Hausdorff dimension 1?
