Abstract

We prove that there are uncountably many sets that are low for the class of Schnorr random reals. We give a purely recursion theoretic characterization of these sets and show that they all have Turing degree incomparable to 0′. This contrasts with a result of Kučera and Terwijn [5] on sets that are low for the class of Martin-Löf random reals.
