Abstract
Consider a randomness notion $\mathcal C$.
A uniform test in the sense of $\mathcal C$ is a total computable procedure that each oracle $X$ produces a test relative to $X$ in the sense of $\mathcal C$.
We say that a binary sequence $Y$ is $\mathcal C$-random uniformly relative to $X$ if $Y$ passes all uniform $\mathcal C$ tests relative to $X$.
Suppose now we have a pair of randomness notions $\mathcal C$ and $\mathcal D$ where $\mathcal{C}\subseteq \mathcal{D}$, for instance Martin-L\”of randomness and Schnorr randomness. Several authors have characterized classes of the form Low($\mathcal C, \mathcal D$) which consist of the oracles $X$ that are so feeble that $\mathcal C \subseteq \mathcal D^X$. Our goal is to do the same when the randomness notion $\mathcal D$ is relativized uniformly: denote by Low$^\star$($\mathcal C, \mathcal D$) the class of oracles $X$ such that every $\mathcal C$-random is uniformly $\mathcal D$-random relative to $X$.
(1) We show that $X\in{\rm Low}^\star({\rm MLR},{\rm SR})$ if and only if $X$ is c.e.~tt-traceable if and only if $X$ is anticomplex if and only if $X$ is Martin-L\”of packing measure zero with respect to all computable dimension functions.
(2) We also show that $X\in{\rm Low}^\star({\rm SR},{\rm WR})$ if and only if $X$ is computably i.o.~tt-traceable if and only if $X$ is not totally complex if and only if $X$ is Schnorr Hausdorff measure zero with respect to all computable dimension functions.
