Abstract
The main theme of this paper is computational power when a machine is allowed to access random sets.
The computability depends on the randomness notions and we compare them by Muchnik and Medvedev degrees.
The central question is whether, given an random oracle, one can compute a more random set.
The main result is that, for each Turing functional,
there exists a Schnorr random set whose output is not computably random.

Abstract
Loosely speaking, when $A$ is “more random” than $B$ and $B$ is “random”,
then $A$ should be random.
The theory of algorithmic randomness has some formulations of “random” sets
and “more random” sets.
In this paper, we study which pairs $(R,r)$ of randomness notions $R$
and reducibilities $r$ have the follwing property:
if $A$ is $r$-reducible to $B$ and $A$ is $R$-random,
then $B$ should be $R$-random.
The answer depends on the notions $R$ and $r$.
The implications hold for most pairs, but not for some.
We also give characterizations of $n$-randomness via complexity.
