The study of Borel equivalence relations under Borel reducibility has developed into an important area of descriptive set theory. The dichotomies of Silver and Harrington-Kechris-Louveau show that with respect to Borel reducibility, any…

We study the complexity of isomorphism of classes of metric structures using methods from infinitary continuous logic. For Borel classes of locally compact structures, we prove that if the equivalence relation of isomorphism is potentially…

For a class $\mathcal K$ of countable relational structures, a countable Borel equivalence relation $E$ is said to be $\mathcal K$-structurable if there is a Borel way to put a structure in $\mathcal K$ on each $E$-equivalence class. We…

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…

For $f \colon [0,1] \rar \real^{+}$, consider the relation $\mathbf{E}_{f}$ on $[0,1]^{\omega}$ defined by $(x_{n}) \mathbf{E}_{f} (y_{n}) \Leftrightarrow \sum_{n < \omega} f(|y_{n} - x_{n}|) < \infty.$ We study the Borel reducibility of…

For a cardinal lambda<lambda_{omega_1} we give a ccc forcing notion P which forces that for some Borel subset B of the Cantor space (1) there a sequence (eta_alpha:alpha<lambda) of distinct elements such that |(eta_alpha+B) cap…

We prove that the existence of a Borel lower density operator (a Borel lifting) with respect to the $\sigma$-ideal of countable sets, for an uncountable Polish space, is equivalent to the Continuum Hypothesis.

We address some fundamental problems concerning the structure of idealistic equivalence relations. In particular, we show that, under analytic determinacy, there are continuum many idealistic analytic equivalence relations that are not…

We show that for a $\sigma $-ideal $\ci$ with a Borel base of subsets of an uncountable Polish space, if $\ca$ is (in several senses) a "regular" family of subsets from $\ci $ then there is a subfamily of $\ca$ whose union is completely…

Given an ideal $\mathcal{I}$ on the nonnegative integers $\omega$ and a Polish space $X$, let $\mathscr{L}(\mathcal{I})$ be the family of subsets $S\subseteq X$ such that $S$ is the set of $\mathcal{I}$-limit points of some sequence taking…

A selection of basic results on Borel reducibility of ideals and equivalence relations, especially those with comparably short proofs. This is an unfinished text as yet. Some proofs have missing parts and loose ends. [email protected] and…

In a recent work, the authors studied various Borel equivalence relations defined on the Polish space ${\rm{SA}}(H)$ of all (not necessarily bounded) self-adjoint operators on a separable infinite-dimensional Hilbert space $H$. In this…

Let H be a product of countably infinite number of copies of an uncountable Polish space X. Let $\Sigma_\xi$ $(\bar {\Sigma}_\xi)$ be the class of Borel sets of additive class \xi for the product of copies of the discrete topology on X (the…

In this paper we shall consider a couple of properties of $\sigma$-ideals and study relations between them. Namely we will prove that $\mathfrak{c}$-cc $\sigma$-ideals are tall and that the Weaker Smital Property implies that every Borel…

We define some natural notions of strong and weak Borel Ramsey properties for countable Borel equivalence relations and show that they hold for a countable Borel equivalence relation if and only if the equivalence relation is smooth. We…

We show that for any Polish group $G$ and any countable normal subgroup $\Gamma\triangleleft G$, the coset equivalence relation $G/\Gamma$ is a hyperfinite Borel equivalence relation. In particular, the outer automorphism group of any…

The main question here is the possible generalization of the following theorem on ``simple'' equivalence relation on 2^omega to higher cardinals. Theorem: (1) Assume that: (a) E is a Borel 2-place relation on 2^omega, (b) E is an…

We improve the known results about the complexity of the relation of isomorphism between separable Banach spaces up to Borel reducibility, and we achieve this using the classical spaces $c_0$, $\ell_p$ and $L_p$, $1 \leq p <2$. More…

We introduce a notion of relative primeness for equivalence relations, strengthening the notion of non-reducibility, and show for many standard benchmark equivalence relations that non-reducibility may be strengthened to relative primeness.…

Let I be an ideal of subsets of a Polish space X, containing all singletons and possessing a Borel basis. Assuming that I does not satisfy ccc, we consider the following conditions (B), (M) and (D). Condition (B) states that there is a…
