Abstract: We prove that any Chaitin # number (i.e., the halting probability of a universal
self-delimiting Turing machine) is wtt-complete, but not tt-complete. In this way
we obtain a whole class of natural examples of wtt-complete but not tt-complete r.e.
sets. The proof is direct and elementary.
1 Introduction
Kucera [8] has used Arslanov's completeness criterion
1
to show that all random sets of
r.e. T-degree are in fact T-complete. Hence, every Chaitin # number is T-complete. In
this paper we... (Update)
