In this paper we investigate algorithmic randomness on more general spaces than the Cantor space, namely computable metric spaces. To do this, we first develop a unified framework allowing computations with probability measures. We show that any computable metric space with a computable probability measure is isomorphic to the Cantor space in a computable and measure-theoretic sense. We show that any computable metric space admits a universal uniform randomness test (without further assumption).

Schnorr showed that a real is Martin-Loef random if and only if all of its initial segments are incompressible with respect to prefix-free complexity. Fortnow and independently Nies, Stephan and Terwijn noticed that this statement remains true if we can merely require that the initial segments of the real corresponding to a computable increasing sequence of lengths are incompressible. The purpose of this note is to establish the following generalization of this fact. We show that a real is X Martin-Loef random if and only if its initial segments corresponding to a pointedly X-computable sequence (r_n) (where r_n is computable from X in a self-delimiting way, so that at most the first r_n bits of X are queried in the computation) of lengths are incompressible. On the other hand we also show that there are reals which are very far from being Martin-Loef random, yet they compute an increasing sequence of lengths at which their initial segments are incompressible.
We study the question, ``For which reals $x$ does there exist a measure $mu$ such that $x$ is random relative to $mu$? We show that for every nonrecursive $x$, there is a measure which makes $x$ random without concentrating on $x$. We give several co nditions on $x$ equivalent to there being continuous measure which makes $x$ random. We show that for all but countably many reals $x$ these conditions apply, so there is a continuous measure which makes $x$ random. There is a meta-mathematical aspect of this investigation. As one requires higher arithmetic levels in the degree of randomness, one must make use of more iterates of the power set of the continuum to show that for all but countably many $x$s there is a continuous $mu$ which makes $x$ random to that degree.
Randomness plays a central rol in the quantum mechanical description of our interactions. We review the relationship between the violation of Bell inequalities, non signaling and randomness. We discuss the challenge in defining a random string, and s how that algorithmic information theory provides a necessary condition for randomness using Borel normality. We close with a view on incomputablity and its implications in physics.
Algorithmic randomness theory starts with a notion of an individual random object. To be reasonable, this notion should have some natural properties; in particular, an object should be random with respect to image distribution if and only if it has a random preimage. This result (for computable distributions and mappings, and Martin-Lof randomness) was known for a long time (folklore); in this paper we prove its natural generalization for layerwise computable mappings, and discuss the related quantitative results.
This paper extends the study of rank-metric codes in extension fields $mathbb{L}$ equipped with an arbitrary Galois group $G = mathrm{Gal}(mathbb{L}/mathbb{K})$. We propose a framework for studying these codes as subspaces of the group algebra $mathb b{L}[G]$, and we relate this point of view with usual notions of rank-metric codes in $mathbb{L}^N$ or in $mathbb{K}^{Ntimes N}$, where $N = [mathbb{L} : mathbb{K}]$. We then adapt the notion of error-correcting pairs to this context, in order to provide a non-trivial decoding algorithm for these codes. We then focus on the case where $G$ is abelian, which leads us to see codewords as elements of a multivariate skew polynomial ring. We prove that we can bound the dimension of the vector space of zeroes of these polynomials, depending of their degree. This result can be seen as an analogue of Alon-Furedi theorem -- and by means, of Schwartz-Zippel lemma -- in the rank metric. Finally, we construct the counterparts of Reed-Muller codes in the rank metric, and we give their parameters. We also show the connection between these codes and classical Reed-Muller codes in the case where $mathbb{L}$ is a Kummer extension.
