Abstract: We discuss applications of concepts related to randomness in computability theory. One example is an easy way to obtain an injury-free solution of Post's problem, in the style of Kucera. A further one is the class of K-trivial sets, which forms an ideal of the Turing degrees with nice properties. The construction of a noncomputable K-trivial set gives a further injury free solution. -- Andre Nies Department of Computer Science, Office 565 University of Auckland Private Bag 92019, Auckland, New Zealand --------------------------------------------------------------- http://www.cs.auckland.ac.nz/~nies/ +64-9-373 7599 ext.86645
