Results in descriptive set theory on some represented spaces
Abstract
Descriptive set theory was originally developed on Polish spaces. It was later extended to -continuous domains [Selivanov 2004] and recently to quasi-Polish spaces [de Brecht 2013]. All these spaces are countably-based. Extending descriptive set theory and its effective counterpart to general represented spaces, including non-countably-based spaces has been started in [Pauly, de Brecht 2015]. We study the spaces , and the Kleene-Kreisel spaces . We show that there is a -subset of which is not Borel. We show that the open subsets of cannot be continuously indexed by elements of or even , and more generally that the open subsets of cannot be continuously indexed by elements of . We also derive effective versions of these results. These results give answers to recent open questions on the classification of spaces in terms of their base-complexity, introduced in [de Brecht, Schr\"oder, Selivanov 2016]. In order to obtain these results, we develop general techniques which are refinements of Cantor's diagonal argument involving multi-valued fixed-point free functions and that are interesting on their own right.
