Generalizing classical descriptive set theory opens foundational questions about the Borel hierarchy. In this paper we systematically study those questions, working in the general framework of Polish-like spaces relative to an uncountable…

Algebra objects in $\infty$-categories of spans admit a description in terms of $2$-Segal objects. We introduce a notion of span between $2$-Segal objects and extend this correspondence to an equivalence of $\infty$-categories.…

Building on work of Chen, we give a universal property of the Markov category BorelStoch of standard Borel spaces and Markov kernels between them. To do this, we introduce a new notion of *coinflip*, or unbiased binary choice, in a Markov…

Complete Boolean algebras proved to be an important tool in topology and set theory. Two of the most prominent examples are B(kappa), the algebra of Borel sets modulo measure zero ideal in the generalized Cantor space {0,1}^kappa equipped…

We show that if A is a linear order then Th(A) is either $\aleph_0$-categorical or Borel complete (in the sense of Friedman and Stanley). We generalize this; if A has countably many unary predicates attached, then Th(A) is…

Gelfand duality is a fundamental result that justifies thinking of general unital $C^*$-algebras as noncommutative versions of compact Hausdorff spaces. Inspired by this perspective, we investigate what noncommutative measurable spaces…

We start by giving a survey to the theory of Borel*(\kappa) sets in the generalized Baire space Baire({\kappa}) = {\kappa}^{\kappa}. In particular we look at the relation of this complexity class to other complexity classes which we denote…

The classification of separable operator spaces and systems is commonly believed to be intractable. We analyze this belief from the point of view of Borel complexity theory. On one hand we confirm that the classification problems for…

We show that if \kappa\ is a weakly compact cardinal then the embeddability relation on (generalized) trees of size \kappa\ is invariantly universal. This means that for every analytic quasi-order R on the generalized Cantor space 2^\kappa\…

Let $(\mathcal{K} ,\subseteq )$ be a universal class with $LS(\mathcal{K})=\lambda$ categorical in regular $\kappa >\lambda^+$ with arbitrarily large models, and let $\mathcal{K}^*$ be the class of all $\mathcal{A}\in\mathcal{K}_{>\lambda}$…

We study the Borel and analytic subsets of the spaces \({}^{\kappa}\kappa\) and \({}^{\kappa}2\) endowed with ideal topologies, where \(\kappa\) is a regular uncountable cardinal. We establish that the Borel hierarchy does not collapse in…

We continue the work of [1, 2, 3] by analyzing the equivalence relation of bi-embeddability on various classes of countable planes, most notably the class of countable non-Desarguesian projective planes. We use constructions of the second…

We extend A. Miller's framework of $\alpha$-forcing to the case of a regular uncountable cardinal $\kappa = \kappa^{<\kappa}$ and apply it to study the structure of the $\kappa$-Borel hierarchy on subspaces of the generalized Baire space…

We introduce the categories of quasi-measurable spaces, which are slight generalizations of the category of quasi-Borel spaces, where we now allow for general sample spaces and less restrictive random variables, spaces and maps. We show…
