Abstract

We show that a computable function $f:\mathbb R\rightarrow \mathbb R$ has Luzin’s property (N) if and only if it reflects $\Pi ^1_1$ -randomness, if and only if it reflects $\Delta ^1_1({\mathcal {O}})$ -randomness, and if and only if it reflects ${\mathcal {O}}$ -Kurtz randomness, but reflecting Martin–Löf randomness or weak-2-randomness does not suffice. Here a function f is said to reflect a randomness notion R if whenever $f(x)$ is R-random, then x is R-random as well. If additionally f is known to have bounded variation, then we show f has Luzin’s (N) if and only if it reflects weak-2-randomness, and if and only if it reflects $\emptyset '$ -Kurtz randomness. This links classical real analysis with algorithmic randomness.
