We prove a number of results motivated by global questions of uniformity in computability theory, and universality of countable Borel equivalence relations. Our main technical tool is a game for constructing functions on free products of…

Boykin and Jackson recently introduced a property of countable Borel equivalence relations called Borel boundedness, which they showed is closely related to the union problem for hyperfinite equivalence relations. In this paper, we…

It is known that the topology of a Polish group is uniquely determined by its Borel structure and group operations, but this does not give us a way to find the topology. In this article we expand on this theorem and give a criterion for a…

We motivate and study the class $\mathcal{C}$ of countable groups $G$ such that the conjugacy relation between minimal actions of $G$ on $\mathbb{R}$ by orientation-preserving homeomorphisms is smooth -- that is, admits a Borel transversal.…

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…

We study classes of Borel subsets of the real line $\mathbb{R}$ such as levels of the Borel hierarchy and the class of sets that are reducible to the set $\mathbb{Q}$ of rationals, endowed with the Wadge quasi-order of reducibility with…

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…

A topological space is almost locally compact if it contains a dense locally compact subspace. We generalize a result from \cite{Ma}, showing that isomorphism on Borel classes of almost locally compact Polish metric structures is always…

In recent years, much work in descriptive set theory has been focused on the Borel complexity of naturally occurring classification problems, in particular, the study of countable Borel equivalence relations and their structure under the…

We associate to every action of a Polish group on a standard probability space a Polish group that we call the orbit full group. For discrete groups, we recover the well-known full groups of pmp equivalence relations equipped with the…

We introduce an analog of the theory of Borel equivalence relations in which we study equivalence relations that are decidable by an infinite time Turing machine. The Borel reductions are replaced by the more general class of infinite time…

We define some natural notions of strong and weak Borel Ramsey properties for countable Borel equivalence relations and show that they hold for a countable Borel equivalence relation if and only if the equivalence relation is smooth. We…

We study a strengthening of the notion of a universally meager set and its dual counterpart that strengthens the notion of a universally null set. We say that a subset $A$ of a perfect Polish space $X$ is countably perfectly meager…

We determine the exact complexity of classifying compact metric spaces up to homeomorphism. More precisely, the homeomorphism relation on compact metric spaces is Borel bi-reducible with the complete orbit equivalence relation of Polish…

We show that for any Polish group $G$ and any countable normal subgroup $\Gamma\triangleleft G$, the coset equivalence relation $G/\Gamma$ is a hyperfinite Borel equivalence relation. In particular, the outer automorphism group of any…
