Title
Kolmogorov complexity and characteristic constants of formal theories of arithmetic.
Abstract
We investigate two constants c(T) and r(T), introduced by Chaitin and Raatikainen respectively, defined for each recursively axiomatizable consistent theory T and universal Turing machine used to determine Kolmogorov complexity. Raatikainen argued that c(T) does not represent the complexity of T and found that for two theories S and T, one can always find a universal Turing machine such that c(S) = c(T). We prove the following are equivalent: c(S) not equal c(T) for some universal Turing machine, r(S) not equal r(T) for some universal Turing machine, and T proves some Pi(1)-sentence which S cannnot prove.
