Shelah's Main Gap and the generalized Borel-reducibility

Abstract

We answer one of the main questions in generalized descriptive set theory, the Friedman-Hyttinen-Kulikov conjecture on the Borel reducibility of the Main Gap. We show a correlation between Shelah's Main Gap and generalized Borel reducibility notions of complexity. For any κ\kappa satisfying κ=λ+=2λ\kappa=\lambda^+=2^\lambda and 2cλ=λω12^{\mathfrak{c}}\leq\lambda=\lambda^{\omega_1}, we show that if TT is a classifiable theory and TT' is a non-classifiable theory, then the isomorphism of models of TT' is strictly above the isomorphism of models of TT with respect to Borel-reducibility. We also show that the following can be forced: for any countable first-order theory in a countable vocabulary, TT, the isomorphism of models of TT is either analytic co-analytic, or analytically-complete.
