Sub-computable Boundedness Randomness
This paper defines a new notion of bounded computable randomness for certain
classes of sub-computable functions which lack a universal machine. In
particular, we define such versions of randomness for primitive recursive
functions and for PSPACE functions. These new notions are robust in that there
are equivalent formulations in terms of (1) Martin-L\"of tests, (2) Kolmogorov
complexity, and (3) martingales. We show these notions can be equivalently
defined with prefix-free Kolmogorov complexity. We prove that one direction of
van Lambalgen's theorem holds for relative computability, but the other
direction fails. We discuss statistical properties of these notions of
randomness

The universality of polynomial time Turing equivalence
We show that polynomial time Turing equivalence and a large class of other equivalence relations from computational complexity theory are universal countable Borel equivalence relations. We then discuss ultrafilters on the invariant Borel sets of these equivalence relations which are related to Martin's ultrafilter on the Turing degrees
