Effective Borel measurability and reducibility of functions

چکیده

The investigation of computational properties of discontinuous functions is an important concern in computable analysis. One method to deal with this subject is to consider effective variants of Borel measurable functions. We introduce such a notion of Borel computability for single-valued as well as for multi-valued functions by a direct effectivization of the classical definition. On Baire space the finite levels of the resulting hierarchy of functions can be characterized using a notion of reducibility for functions and corresponding complete functions. We use this classification and an effective version of a Selection Theorem of Bhattacharya-Srivastava in order to prove a generalization of the Representation Theorem of Kreitz-Weihrauch for Borel measurable functions on computable metric spaces: such functions are Borel measurable on a certain finite level, if and only if they admit a realizer on Baire space of the same quality. This Representation Theorem enables us to introduce a realizer reducibility for functions on metric spaces and we can extend the completeness result to this reducibility. Besides being very useful by itself, this reducibility leads to a new and effective proof of the Banach-Hausdorff-Lebesgue Theorem which connects Borel measurable functions with the Baire functions. Hence, for certain metric spaces the class of Borel computable functions on a certain level is exactly the class of functions which can be expressed as a limit of a pointwise convergent and computable sequence of functions of the next lower level.

Weihrauch-completeness for layerwise computability

Layerwise computability is an effective counterpart to continuous functions that are almosteverywhere defined. This notion was introduced by Hoyrup and Rojas [17]. A function defined on Martin-Löf random inputs is called layerwise computable, if it becomes computable if each input is equipped with some bound on the layer where it passes a fixed universal Martin-Löf test. Interesting examples of...

The effective theory of Borel equivalence relations

The study of Borel equivalence relations under Borel reducibility has developed into an important area of descriptive set theory. The dichotomies of Silver ([19]) and Harrington-Kechris-Louveau ([5]) show that with respect to Borel reducibility, any Borel equivalence relation strictly above equality on ω is above equality on P(ω), the power set of ω, and any Borel equivalence relation strictly ...

Five-value rich lines‎, ‎Borel directions and uniqueness of meromorphic functions

For a meromorphic function $f$ in the complex plane, we shall introduce the definition of five-value rich line of $f$, and study the uniqueness of meromorphic functions of finite order in an angular domain by involving the five-value rich line and Borel directions. Finally, the relationship between a five-value rich line and a Borel direction is discussed, that is, every Borel direction of $f$ ...

A Wadge hierarchy for second countable spaces

Wadge reducibility provides a rich and nice analysis of Borel sets in Polish zero dimensional spaces. However, outside this framework, reducibility by continuous functions was shown to be ill behaved in many important cases. We define a notion of reducibility for subsets of a second countable T0 topological space based on the notions of admissible representations and relatively continuous relat...
