We prove in this paper that there exists some infinitary rational relations which are analytic but non Borel sets, giving an answer to a question of Simonnet [Automates et Th\'eorie Descriptive, Ph. D. Thesis, Universit\'e Paris 7, March…
We give in this paper an example of infinitary rational relation, accepted by a 2-tape B\"{u}chi automaton, which is Pi^0_3-complete in the Borel hierarchy. Moreover the example of infinitary rational relation given in this paper has a very…
We consider a large family of theories of equivalence relations, each with finitely many classes, and assuming the existence of an $\omega$-Erdos cardinal, we determine which of these theories are Borel complete. We develop machinery,…
We prove that, for each non null countable ordinal alpha, there exist some Sigma^0_alpha-complete omega-powers, and some Pi^0_alpha-complete omega-powers, extending previous works on the topological complexity of omega-powers. We prove…
We show that the set of absolutely normal numbers is $\mathbf \Pi^0_3$-complete in the Borel hierarchy of subsets of real numbers. Similarly, the set of absolutely normal numbers is $\Pi^0_3$-complete in the effective Borel hierarchy.
This paper is a continuation of the study of topological properties of omega context free languages (omega-CFL). We proved before that the class of omega-CFL exhausts the hierarchy of Borel sets of finite rank, and that there exist some…
We show that, from the topological point of view, 2-tape B\"uchi automata have the same accepting power as Turing machines equipped with a B\"uchi acceptance condition. The Borel and the Wadge hierarchies of the class RAT_omega of…
We consider the set of infinite real traces, over a dependence alphabet (Gamma, D) with no isolated letter, equipped with the topology induced by the prefix metric. We then prove that all rational languages of infinite real traces are…
Omega-powers of finitary languages are languages of infinite words (omega-languages) in the form V^omega, where V is a finitary language over a finite alphabet X. They appear very naturally in the characterizaton of regular or context-free…
We show that if there exists a countable Borel equivalence relation which is hyper-hyperfinite but not hyperfinite then the complexity of hyperfinite countable Borel equivalence relations is as high as possible, namely,…
Omega-powers of finitary languages are omega languages in the form V^omega, where V is a finitary language over a finite alphabet X. Since the set of infinite words over X can be equipped with the usual Cantor topology, the question of the…
Let $\mathcal R$ be a $\Sigma^1_1$ binary relation and call a set $\mathcal R$-discrete iff no two distinct of its elements are $\mathcal R$-related. We show that in the extension of $\mathbf{L}$ by iterated Sacks forcing, there is a…
We give in this paper additional answers to questions of Lescow and Thomas [Logical Specifications of Infinite Computations, In:"A Decade of Concurrency", Springer LNCS 803 (1994), 583-621], proving new topological properties of omega…
It was noticed by Harel in [Har86] that "one can define $\Sigma_1^1$-complete versions of the well-known Post Correspondence Problem". We first give a complete proof of this result, showing that the infinite Post Correspondence Problem in a…
Let $X$ be an uncountable Polish space and let $\mathcal{I}$ be an ideal on $\omega$. A point $\eta \in X$ is an $\mathcal{I}$-limit point of a sequence $(x_n)$ taking values in $X$ if there exists a subsequence $(x_{k_n})$ convergent to…
We show that many classical decision problems about 1-counter omega-languages, context free omega-languages, or infinitary rational relations, are $\Pi_2^1$-complete, hence located at the second level of the analytical hierarchy, and…
In the present note we study the interrelations between the sets of so-called typical numbers and numbers that are normal in base two. Employing results by Nakai and Shiokawa, we exhibit examples of numbers that belong to one set but do not…
New (infinitely many) rational approximants to \zeta(3) proving its irrationality are given. The recurrence relations for the numerator and denominator of these approximants as well as their continued fraction expansions are obtained. A…
A classical theorem of Luzin is that the separation principle holds for the Pi^0_alpha sets but fails for the Sigma^0_alpha sets. We show that for every Sigma^0_alpha set A which is not Pi^0_alpha there exists a Sigma^0_alpha set B which is…
We study aleph_0-stable theories, and prove that if T either has eni-DOP or is eni-deep, then its class of countable models is Borel complete. We introduce the notion of lambda-Borel completeness and prove that such theories are…
