A Note on Closed Subsets in Quasi-zero-dimensional Qcb-spaces (Extended Abstract)

We introduce the notion of quasi-zero-dimensionality as a substitute for the notion of zero-dimensionality, motivated by the fact that the latter behaves badly in the realm of qcb-spaces. We prove that the category $QZ$ of quasi-zero-dimensional qcb$_0$-spaces is cartesian closed. Prominent examples of spaces in $QZ$ are the spaces in the sequential hierarchy of the Kleene-Kreisel continuous functionals. Moreover, we characterise some types of closed subsets of $QZ$-spaces in terms of their ability to allow extendability of continuous functions. These results are related to an open problem in Computable Analysis

Relativizations of the P =? DNP Question for the BSS Model

We consider the uniform BSS model of computation where the machines can perform additions, multiplications, and tests of the form $xgeq 0$. The oracle machines can also check whether a tuple of real numbers belongs to a given oracle set ${cal O}$ or not. We construct oracles such that the classes P and DNP relative to these oracles are equal or not equal
