We show that every countable Borel equivalence relation structurable by $n$-dimensional contractible simplicial complexes embeds into one which is structurable by such complexes with the further property that each vertex belongs to at most…

We study the complexity of the isomorphism relation for various classes of closed subgroups of the group of permutations of the natural numbers. We use the setting of Borel reducibility between equivalence relations on Polish spaces. For…

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 prove that topological isomorphism on procountable groups is not classifiable by countable structures, in the sense of descriptive set theory. In fact, the equivalence relation $\ell_\infty$ expressing that two sequences of reals have a…

We consider various notions of equivalence in the space of bounded operators on a Hilbert space, in particular modulo finite rank, modulo Schatten $p$-class, and modulo compact. Using Hjorth's theory of turbulence, the latter two are shown…

We study certain countable locally finite groups attached to minimal homeomorphisms, and prove that the isomorphism relation on simple, countable, locally finite groups is a universal relation arising from a Borel $S_\infty$-action. This…

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…

We show that if there exists a countable Borel equivalence relation which is hyper-hyperfinite but not hyperfinite then the complexity of hyperfinite countable Borel equivalence relations is as high as possible, namely,…

We show that if an equivalence relation $E$ on a Polish space is a countable union of smooth Borel subequivalence relations, then there is either a Borel reduction of $E$ to a countable Borel equivalence relation on a Polish space or a…

Given a countable o-minimal theory T, we characterize the Borel complexity of isomorphism for countable models of T up to two model-theoretic invariants. If T admits a nonsimple type, then it is shown to be Borel complete by embedding the…

We study topological realizations of countable Borel equivalence relations, including realizations by continuous actions of countable groups, with additional desirable properties. Some examples include minimal realizations on any perfect…

We say that two classes of topological spaces are equivalent if each member of one class has a homeomorphic copy in the other class and vice versa. Usually when the Borel complexity of a class of metrizable compacta is considered, the class…

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 consider the problem of determining the complexity of the uniform homeomorphism relation between separable Banach spaces in the Borel reducibility hierarchy of analytic equivalence relations. We prove that the complete $K_{\sigma}$…

We systematically investigate three different equivalence relations of connectedness: being connected by arcs, being connected by continua and being connected by chains of continua of decreasing diameter. The investigation is conducted from…

A topological group G is profinite if it is compact and totally disconnected. Equivalently, G is the inverse limit of a surjective system of finite groups carrying the discrete topology. We discuss how to represent a countably based…

We extend \L ukasiewicz logic obtaining the infinitary logic $\mathcal{IR}\L$ whose models are algebras $C(X,[0,1])$, where $X$ is a basically disconnected compact Hausdorff space. Equivalently, our models are unit intervals in…

Working in the framework of Borel reducibility, we study various notions of embeddability between groups. We prove that the embeddability between countable groups, the topological embeddability between (discrete) Polish groups, and the…

We study the class of analytic binary relations on Polish spaces, compared with the notions of continuous reducibility or injective continuous reducibility. In particular, we characterize when a locally countable Borel relation is $\Sigma$…

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…
