On equivalence relations induced by Polish groups
Abstract
The motivation of this article is to introduce a kind of orbit equivalence relations which can well describe structures and properties of Polish groups from the perspective of Borel reducibility. Given a Polish group , let be the right coset equivalence relation , where is the group of all convergent sequences in . Let be a Polish group. (1) is a discrete countable group containing at least two elements iff ; (2) if is TSI uncountable non-archimedean, then ; (3) is non-archimedean iff ; (4) if is a CLI Polish group but is not, then ; (5) if is a non-archimedean Polish group but is not, then . The notion of -l.m.-unbalanced Polish group for is introduced. Let be Polish groups, . If is -l.m.-unbalanced but is not, then . For TSI Polish groups, the existence of Borel reduction is transformed into the existence of a well-behaved continuous mapping between topological groups. As its applications, for any Polish group , let be the connected component of the identity element . Let and be two separable TSI Lie groups. If , then there exists a continuous locally injective map . Moreover, if are abelian, is a group homomorphism. In particular, for , iff and .
