Arithmetical Hierarchy of the Besicovitch-Stability of Noisy Tilings
share
The purpose of this article is to study the algorithmic complexity of the Besicovitch stability of noisy subshifts of finite type, a notion studied in a previous article. First, we exhibit an unstable aperiodic tiling, and then see how it can serve as a building block to implement several reductions from classical undecidable problems on Turing machines. It will follow that the question of stability of subshifts of finite type is undecidable, and the strongest lower bound we obtain in the arithmetical hierarchy is Π_2-hardness. Lastly, we prove that this decision problem, which requires to quantify over an uncountable set of probability measures, has a Π_4 upper bound.
