Abstract
We prove that Kobayashi compressibility can be used in order to define Martin-Löf randomness, a strong version of finite randomness and Kurtz randomness, strictly in terms of Turing reductions. Moreover these randomness notions naturally correspond to Turing reducibility, weak truth-table reducibility and truth-table reducibility respectively. Finally we discuss Kobayashi's main result from [21] regarding the compressibility of computably enumerable sets, and provide additional related original results.
