Let $(X, d)$ be a compact metric space and let $\mathcal{M}(X)$ denote the space of all finite signed Borel measures on $X$. Define $I \colon \mathcal{M}(X) \to \R$ by \[I(\mu) = \int_X \int_X d(x,y) d\mu(x) d\mu(y),\] and set $M(X) = \sup…
This paper studies Moore's measurable cohomology theory for locally compact groups and Polish modules. An elementary dimension-shifting argument is used to show that all classes in that theory have representatives with considerable extra…
Let $\pi: Y\rightarrow X$ be a continuous surjection between compact Hausdorff spaces $Y$ and $X$ which is irreducible in the sense that if $F\subsetneq Y$ is closed, then $\pi(F)\neq X$. We exhibit isomorphisms between various Boolean…
We show that the set of locally finite Borel graphs with finite Borel asymptotic dimension is $\mathbf{\Sigma}^1_2$-complete. The result is based on a combinatorial characterization of finite Borel asymptotic dimension for graphs generated…
Using ideas from shape theory we embed the coarse category of metric spaces into the category of direct sequences of simplicial complexes with bonding maps being simplicial. Two direct sequences of simplicial complexes are equivalent if one…
We study groups that can be defined as Polish, pro-countable groups, as non-archimedean groups with an invariant metric or as quasi-countable groups, i.e., closed subdirect products of countable, discrete groups, endowed with the product…
In this paper, we investigate Polish semigroup topologies on the endomorphism monoids $\operatorname{End}(\mathbb{N},\leq)$ and $\operatorname{End}(\mathbb{Z},\leq)$. We introduce a new structural condition, property $\mathbb{XX}$, which…
We investigate Borel reducibility between equivalence relations $E(X,p)=X^{\Bbb N}/\ell_p(X)$'s where $X$ is a separable Banach space. We show that this reducibility is related to the so called H\"older$(\alpha)$ embeddability between…
The Borel complexity of the isomorphism problem for finite-rank unital simple dimension groups increases with rank. This implies that the isomorphism problems for the corresponding classes of Bratteli diagrams and LDA-groups also increase…
This paper addresses two problems lying at the intersection of geometric analysis and theoretical computer science: The non-linear isomorphic Dvoretzky theorem and the design of good approximate distance oracles for large distortion. We…
We provide a comprehensive development of the basics of descriptive set theory for non-separable complete metric spaces whose weight is a singular cardinal $\lambda$ of countable confinality. Somewhat unexpectedly, the resulting theory is…
In this paper we study the descriptive complexity of the topological orbit equvalence relation for some Borel classes of Cantor minimal systems. Specifically, we study the Borel class of all Cantor minimal systems with only finitely many…
In several classes of countable structures it is known that every hyperarithmetic structure has a computable presentation up to bi-embeddability. In this article we investigate the complexity of embeddings between bi-embeddable structures…
We study compact embeddings of Sobolev, Besov, and Triebel-Lizorkin spaces with variable exponents on both bounded and unbounded metric measure spaces. We establish sufficient conditions for compactness, and under additional assumptions, we…
We study the complexity of the following related computational tasks concerning a fixed countable graph G: 1. Does a countable graph H provided as input have a(n induced) subgraph isomorphic to G? 2. Given a countable graph H that has a(n…
Suppose that $X$ is a Polish space, $E$ is a countable Borel equivalence relation on $X$, and $\mu$ is an $E$-invariant Borel probability measure on $X$. We consider the circumstances under which for every countable non-abelian free group…
Friedman and Stanley developed the notion of Borel reducibility and illustrated its use in comparing classification problems for some familiar classes of countable structures. For many embeddings, the fact that the embedding is $1-1$ on…
We develop the theory of homogeneous Polish ultrametric structures. Our starting point is a Fraisse class of finite structures and the crucial tool is the universal homogeneous epimorphism. The new Fraisse limit is an inverse limit,…
Let $(M,d)$ be a bounded countable metric space and $c>0$ a constant, such that $d(x,y)+d(y,z)-d(x,z) \ge c$, for any pairwise distinct points $x,y,z$ of $M$. For such metric spaces we prove that they can be isometrically embedded into any…
Nontrivial isometric embeddings for flat metrics (i.e., those which are not just planes in the ambient space) can serve as useful tools in the description of gravity in the embedding gravity approach. Such embeddings can additionally be…
