Let $S_\infty$ denote the topological group of permutations of the natural numbers. We study the complexity of the isomorphism relation on classes of closed subgroups $S_\infty$ in the setting of Borel reducibility between equivalence…

In this paper, we study Schauder equivalence relations, which are Borel equivalence relations generated by Banach spaces with basic sequences. We prove that the set of equivalence relations generated by basic sequences has boundaries. Then…

We investigate the relation of countable closed subsets of the reals with respect to continuous monotone embeddability; we show that there are exactly aleph_1 many equivalence classes with respect to this embeddability relation. This is an…

The paper deals with the program of determining the complexity of various homeomorphism relations. The homeomorphism relation on compact Polish spaces is known to be reducible to an orbit equivalence relation of a continuous Polish group…

Let $X$ be a Polish space and $K$ a separable compact subset of the first Baire class on $X$. For every sequence $\bs$ dense in $\kk$, the descriptive set-theoretic properties of the set \[ \lbf=\{L\in[\nn]: (f_n)_{n\in L} \text{is…

We prove that for a countable discrete group $\Gamma$ containing a copy of the free group $\F_n$, for some $2\leq n\leq\infty$, as a normal subgroup, the equivalence relations of conjugacy, orbit equivalence and von Neumann equivalence of…

We study a version of the BGG category O for Dynkin Borel subalgebras of root-reductive Lie algebras g, such as gl(\infty). We prove results about extension fullness and compute the higher extensions of simple modules by Verma modules. In…

Let $b\ge 2$ be an integer. We show that the set of real numbers that are Poisson generic in base $b$ is $\boldsymbol{\Pi}^0_3$-complete in the Borel hierarchy of subsets of the real line. Furthermore, the set of real numbers that are Borel…

Let $(X_n,d_n),\,n\in\Bbb N$ be a sequence of pseudo-metric spaces, $p\ge 1$. For $x,y\in\prod_{n\in\Bbb N}X_n$, let $(x,y)\in E((X_n)_{n\in\Bbb N};p)\Leftrightarrow\sum_{n\in\Bbb N}d_n(x(n),y(n))^p<+\infty$. For Borel reducibility between…

We give a partial answer to an important open problem in descriptive set theory, the Decomposability Conjecture for Borel functions on an analytic subset of a Polish space to a separable metrizable space. Our techniques employ deep results…

We give a reframing of Godel's first and second incompleteness theorems that applies even to some undefinable theories of arithmetic. The usual Hilbert-Bernays provability conditions and the diagonal lemma are replaced by a more direct…

In this short note we show that every connected reductive simply-connected algebraic group of rank $>1$ over the complex numbers has infinitely many pairs of irreducible representations which are not related by an automorphism of the…

We introduce and study the notion of functorial Borel complexity for Polish groupoids. Such a notion aims at measuring the complexity of classifying the objects of a category in a constructive and functorial way. In the particular case of…

We investigate the descriptive complexity of the set of models of first-order theories. Using classical results of Knight and Solovay, we give a sharp condition for complete theories to have a $\pmb\Pi_\omega^0$-complete set of models. In…

Let $n$ be a positive integer, and let $R$ be a (possibly infinite dimensional) finitely presented algebra over a computable field of characteristic zero. We describe an algorithm for deciding (in principle) whether $R$ has at most finitely…

The monadic theory of $(\mathbb R,\le)$ with quantification restricted to Borel sets is decidable. The Boolean combinations of $F_\sigma$ sets form an elementary substructure of the Borel sets. Under determinacy hypotheses, the proof…

We study the complexity of the space $C^*_p(X)$ of bounded continuous functions with the topology of pointwise convergence. We are allowed to use descriptive set theoretical methods, since for a separable metrizable space $X$, the…

We develop an analogue of the classical Scott analysis for metric structures and infinitary continuous logic. Among our results are the existence of Scott sentences for metric structures and a version of the Lopez-Escobar theorem. We also…

We present a selection of basic results on Borel reducibility of Borel ideals and equivalence relations, especially those with comparably short proofs. The focal point are reducibility/irreducibility results related to some special…

We study the equivalence classes under $\Delta^1_1$ isomorphism, otherwise effective-Borel isomorphism, between complete separable metric spaces which admit a recursive presentation and we show the existence of strictly increasing and…
