The author deals with the 2-dimensional case and claims that all the results can be transfered to higher dimensions. The machines under consideration are Turing machines with 2-dimensional input tape with one read-only head and with one 1-dimensional working tape again with one head. The space complexity is measured due to the working tape only. Inputs are finite 2-dimensional arrays. A set of such inputs is recognizable by a Turing machine with some space complexity iff this set is exactly the set of inputs for which there exists an accepting computation of the machine with the appropriate space bound. A set is decidable iff it and its complement are recognizable. Let $(D)Rec(f)$ and $(D)Dec(f)$ be the (deterministically) recognizable and decidable sets with space complexity f. Let C be a constant function and R be a sublogarithmic function. Then $DRec(C)\backslash Dec(R)\ne \emptyset$ and $Dec(C)\backslash DRec(R)\ne \emptyset.$ rv: A.Slisenko
