We show that every abelian Polish group is the topological factor-group of a closed subgroup of the full unitary group of a separable Hilbert space with the strong operator topology. It follows that all orbit equivalence relations induced…
We study topological groups that can be defined as Polish, pro-countable abelian groups, as non-archimedean abelian groups or as quasi-countable abelian groups, i.e., Polish subdirect products of countable, discrete groups, endowed with the…
A long standing open problem in the theory of hyperfinite equivalence relations asks if the orbit equivalence relation generated by a Borel action of a countable amenable group is hyperfinite. In this paper we prove that this question…
We give a new short proof of the theorem due to Marquis and Sabok, which states that the orbit equivalence relation induced by the action of a finitely generated hyperbolic group on its Gromov boundary is hyperfinite. Our methods permit…

In this paper we consider non-archimedean abelian Polish groups whose orbit equivalence relations are all Borel. Such groups are called tame. We show that a non-archimedean abelian Polish group is tame if and only if it does not involve…
Gao and Jackson showed that any countable Borel equivalence relation (CBER) induced by a countable abelian Polish group is hyperfinite. This prompted Hjorth to ask if this is in fact true for all CBERs classifiable by (uncountable) abelian…
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…
We study Borel equivalence relations equipped with a uniformly Borel family of Polish topologies on each equivalence class, and more generally, standard Borel groupoids equipped with such a family of topologies on each connected component.…
A Polish group $G$ is tame if for any continuous action of $G$, the corresponding orbit equivalence relation is Borel. When $G = \prod_n \Gamma_n$ for countable abelian $\Gamma_n$, Solecki (1995) gave a characterization for when $G$ is…
We show that every essentially countable orbit equivalence relation induced by a continuous action of a Polish group on a Polish space is $\sigma$-lacunary. In combination with [Invent. Math.201 (1), 309-383, 2015] we obtain a…
A variation of the Scott analysis of countable structures is applied to actions of non-Archimedean TSI Polish groups acting continuously on a Polish spaces. We give results on the potential Borel complexity spectrum of such groups, and…
We prove that orbit equivalence relations (ERs, for brevity) of generically turbulent Polish actions are not Borel reducible to ER s of a family which includes Polish actions of S_\infty, the group of all permutations of N, and is closed…
We show that a {\it Borel} action of a Polish group on a standard Borel space is Borel isomorphic to a {\it continuous} action of the group on a Polish space, and we apply this result to three aspects of the theory of Borel actions of…
We construct affine uniformly Lipschitz actions on $\ell^1$ and $L^1$ for certain groups with hyperbolic features. For acylindrically hyperbolic groups, our actions have unbounded orbits, while for residually finite hyperbolic groups and…
We identify natural conditions for a countable group acting on a countable tree which imply that the orbit equivalence relation of the induced action on the Gromov boundary is Borel hyperfinite. Examples of this condition include…
We introduce the notions of u-amenability and hyper-u-amenability for countable Borel equivalence relations, strong forms of amenability that are implied by hyperfiniteness. We show that treeable, hyper-u-amenable countable Borel…
Given a Polish group $G$, let $E(G)$ be the right coset equivalence relation $G^\omega/c(G)$, where $c(G)$ is the group of all convergent sequences in $G$. The connected component of the identity of a Polish group $G$ is denoted by $G_0$.…
We extend the result of Nadel describing the relationship between approximations of canonical Scott sentences and admissible sets to the general case of orbit equivalence relations induced on an arbitrary Polish space by a Polish group…
We prove that the isomorphism relation for separable C$^*$-algebras, and also the relations of complete and $n$-isometry for operator spaces and systems, are Borel reducible to the orbit equivalence relation of a Polish group action on a…
