The following will be shown: Let $I$ be a $\sigma$-ideal on a Polish space $X$ with the property that the associated forcing of $I^+$ Borel subsets ordered by $\subseteq$ is a proper forcing. Let E be an analytic or coanalytic equivalence…

Given an analytic equivalence relation, we tend to wonder whether it is Borel. When it is non Borel, there is always the hope it will be Borel on a "large" set -- nonmeager or of positive measure. That has led Kanovei, Sabok and Zapletal to…

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…

Let $F_{\omega_1}$ be the countable admissible ordinal equivalence relation defined on ${}^\omega 2$ by $x \ F_{\omega_1} \ y$ if and only if $\omega_1^x = \omega_1^y$. It will be shown that $F_{\omega_1}$ is classifiable by countable…

Working with uncountable structures of fixed cardinality, we investigate the complexity of certain equivalence relations and show that if V = L, then many of them are \Sigma^1_1-complete, in particular the isomorphism relation of dense…

We ask whether $\mathbf{\Delta^1_2}$ or $\mathbf{\Sigma^1_2}$ equivalence relations with $I$-small classes for $I$ a $\sigma$-ideal must have perfectly many classes. We show that for a wide class of ccc $\sigma$-ideals, a positive answer…

In this paper we first consider hyperfinite Borel equivalence relations with a pair of Borel $\mathbb{Z}$-orderings. We define a notion of compatibility between such pairs, and prove a dichotomy theorem which characterizes exactly when a…

Assume $\mathsf{ZF + AD^+ + V = L(\mathscr{P}(\mathbb{R}))}$. Let $E$ be a $\mathbf{\Sigma}^1_1$ equivalence relation coded in $\mathrm{HOD}$. $E$ has an ordinal definable equivalence class without any ordinal definable elements if and only…

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,…

Let kappa be an uncountable regular cardinal. Call an equivalence relation on functions from kappa into 2 Sigma_1^1-definable over H(kappa) if there is a first order sentence F and a parameter R subseteq H(kappa) such that functions…

In this paper, we show that, for each $p>1$, there are continuum many Borel equivalence relations between $\Bbb R^\omega/\ell_1$ and $\Bbb R^\omega/\ell_p$ ordered by $\le_B$ which are pairwise Borel incomparable.

A classical theorem due to Mycielski states that an equivalence relation $E$ having the Baire property and meager equivalence classes must have a perfect set of pairwise inequivalent elements. We consider equivalence relations with…

We study the Borel-reducibility of isomorphism relations of complete first order theories and show the consistency of the following: For all such theories T and T', if T is classifiable and T' is not, then the isomorphism of models of T' is…

Assuming the P-ideal dichotomy, we attempt to isolate those cardinal characteristics of the continuum that are correlated with two well-known consequences of the proper forcing axiom. We find a cardinal invariant $\mathfrak{x}$ such that…

We prove a number of results about countable Borel equivalence relations with forcing constructions and arguments. These results reveal hidden regularity properties of Borel complete sections on certain orbits. As consequences they imply…

Following the topic of the book Canonical Ramsey Theory on Polish Spaces by V. Kanovei, M. Sabok and J. Zapletal we study Borel equivalences on Laver trees. Here we prove that equivalence relations Borel reducible to an equivalence relation…

We show that for a Suslin ccc forcing notion $\mathbb Q$ adding a Hechler real, ``$\text{ZF}+\text{DC}_{\omega_1}+$all sets of reals are $I_{\mathbb Q,\aleph_0}$-measurable'' implies the existence of an inner model with a measurable…

We introduce a natural generalization of Borel's Conjecture. For each infinite cardinal number $\kappa$, let {\sf BC}$_{\kappa}$ denote this generalization. Then ${\sf BC}_{\aleph_0}$ is equivalent to the classical Borel conjecture.…

Let $f$ be a transcendental entire function with hyper-order strictly less than 1 and having a Borel exceptional small function. If $f$ and $\Delta^n f$, or $f'$ and $f(z+1)$, share a function CM, then the exact form of $f$ is determined,…

Let $E\subseteq F$ and $E'\subseteq F'$ be Borel equivalence relations on the standard Borel spaces $X$ and $Y$, respectively. The pair $(E,F)$ is simultaneously Borel reducible to the pair $(E',F')$ if there is a Borel function $f:X\to Y$…
