The set of homogeneous solutions of a clopen contains an hyperarithmetical set
In the context of Galvin-Prikry generalization of Ramsey's theorem, I read in a couple of papers ([1],[2]) that Solovay [3] proved that if $P$ is a clopen of $[\mathbb{N}]^{\mathbb{N}}$ then the set ...

Tileability and computabilty
Let $n>2$ be an integer. We consider $n$ pairs $(x_1,y_1),\dotsc,(x_n,y_n)$ in $\mathbb{N}^2$, and the polygon defined by drawing a straight line from $(x_k, y_k)$ to $(x_{k+1},y_{k+1})$ and from $(...

Counting path generating sentences in a specific formal language
Given a formal grammar of a language or an Turing machine of the language, can we count the path that generating sentences of the language?
For example, we know that if the grammar is context-free ...
