Let xi be a non-null countable ordinal. We study the Borel subsets of the plane that can be made $\bormxi$ by refining the Polish topology on the real line. These sets are called potentially $\bormxi$. We give a Hurewicz-like test to…
We study classes of Borel subsets of the real line $\mathbb{R}$ such as levels of the Borel hierarchy and the class of sets that are reducible to the set $\mathbb{Q}$ of rationals, endowed with the Wadge quasi-order of reducibility with…
Let $\xi\geq 1$ be a countable ordinal. We study the Borel subsets of the plane that can be made ${\bf\Pi}^0_\xi$ by refining the Polish topology on the real line. These sets are called potentially ${\bf\Pi}^0_\xi$. We give a Hurewicz-like…
We give, for some Borel sets of a product of two Polish spaces, including the Borel sets with countable sections, a Hurewicz-like characterization of those which cannot become a transfinite difference of open sets by changing the two Polish…
We study the analytic digraphs of uncountable Borel chromatic number on Polish spaces, and compare them with the notion of injective Borel homomorphism. We provide some minimal digraphs incomparable with G 0. We also prove the existence of…
In this paper, we show that the arc-connectedness equivalence relation on a Polish subspace of the real plane is an essentially hyperfinite Borel equivalence relation. This result provides the optimal upper bound for such a Borel…
We extend the Becker--Kechris topological realization and change-of-topology theorems for Polish group actions in several directions. For Polish group actions, we prove a single result that implies the original Becker--Kechris theorems, as…
We systematically investigate three different equivalence relations of connectedness: being connected by arcs, being connected by continua and being connected by chains of continua of decreasing diameter. The investigation is conducted from…
Becker and Kechris showed that if a Polish group G acts continuously on a Polish space X, then for any invariant Borel set B we can change the topology on X so that B becomes open, the Borel structure is preserved, and the action continues…
We study the class of analytic binary relations on Polish spaces, compared with the notions of continuous reducibility or injective continuous reducibility. In particular, we characterize when a locally countable Borel relation is $\Sigma$…
In this paper we further develop the theory of canonical approximations of Polishable subgroups of Polish groups, building on previous work of Solecki and Farah--Solecki. In particular, we obtain a characterization of such canonical…
We extend some results of Carderi and Le Ma\^itre on full groups in the probability context to the infinite measure one: there exists at most one Polish group topology (refining the weak topology and coarser than the uniform topology) on an…
We study the complexity with respect to Borel reducibility of the relations of isometry and isometric embeddability between ultrametric Polish spaces for which a set $D$ of possible distances is fixed in advance. These are, respectively, an…
This paper is devoted to the study of analytic equivalence relations which are Borel graphable, i.e. which can be realized as the connectedness relation of a Borel graph. Our main focus is the question of which analytic equivalence…
The literature provides dichotomies involving homomorphisms (like the G 0 dichotomy) or reductions (like the characterization of sets potentially in a Wadge class of Borel sets, which holds on a subset of a product). However, part of the…
A dichotomy discovered by Solecki says that a Baire class 1 function from a Souslin space into a Polish space either can be decomposed into countably many continuous functions, or else contains one particular function which cannot be so…
Kuratowski's theorem says that the minimal (under subgraph containment) graphs that are not planar are the subdivisions of $K_5$ and of $K_{3,3}$. Here we study the minimal (under subdigraph containment) strongly-connected digraphs that are…
We present the effective version of the theorem about turning Borel sets in Polish spaces into clopen sets while preserving the Borel structure of the underlying space. We show that under some conditions the emerging parameters can be…
Working in the framework of Borel reducibility, we study various notions of embeddability between groups. We prove that the embeddability between countable groups, the topological embeddability between (discrete) Polish groups, and the…
We study some variations of the product topology on families of clopen subsets of $2^{\mathbb{N}}\times\mathbb{N}$ in order to construct countable nodec regular spaces (i.e. in which every nowhere dense set is closed) with analytic topology…
