Abstract
We study the Borel and analytic subsets of the spaces and endowed with ideal topologies, where is a regular uncountable cardinal. We establish that the Borel hierarchy does not collapse in any ideal topology and prove that every Borel set in such a topology is analytic. In particular, when the ideal contains an unbounded set, the class of analytic sets coincides with the entire powerset. Furthermore, we show that the Approximation Lemma holds for ideal topologies.
