## Lowness for Kurtz randomness.(English)Zbl 1168.03033

The main result here is that no diagonally nonrecursive (DNR) degree is low for Kurtz randomness. The authors point out that the bulk of the proof is combinatorial – the key notion introduced is that of a svelte tree – with computability appearing only towards the end. Using the same machinery, the paper also shows that every degree in Low (ML, Kurtz) is non-DNR, Kjos-Hanssen having proved the converse.
