Borel Canonization of Analytic Sets with Borel Sections
Abstract
Given an analytic equivalence relation, we tend to wonder whether it is Borel. When it is non Borel, there is always the hope it will be Borel on a "large" set -- nonmeager or of positive measure. That has led Kanovei, Sabok and Zapletal to ask whether every proper ideal satisfies the following property: given an analytic equivalence relation with Borel classes, there exists a set which is Borel and -positive such that is Borel. We propose a related problem -- does every proper ideal satisfy: given an analytic subset of the plane with Borel sections, there exists a set which is Borel and -positive such that is Borel. We answer positively when a measurable cardinal exists, and negatively in , where no proper ideal has that property. Assuming is inaccessible to the reals but not Mahlo in , we construct a ccc ideal not having this property -- in fact, forcing with adds a non Borel section to a certain analytic set with Borel sections, and a non Borel class to a certain analytic equivalence relation with Borel classes. Various counterexamples are given for the case of a equivalence relation as well as for the case of an improper ideal.
