Descriptive Choice Principles and How to Separate Them

Logic 2023-07-20 v1

Abstract

The axiom of countable choice for reals is one of the most basic fragments of the axiom of choice needed in many parts of mathematics. Descriptive choice principles are a further stratification of this fragment by the descriptive complexity of the sets. In this paper, we provide a separation technique for descriptive choice principles based on Jensen forcing. Our results generalise a theorem by Kanovei.
