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…
Let $\Gamma$ and $\Delta$ be sufficiently distinct countable groups. We show that there is an orbit equivalence relation $E$, induced by an action of the Polish wreath product group $\Gamma\wr\Gamma$, so that $E$ is generically $F$-ergodic…
It is shown that a topological group G is topologically isomorphic to the isometry group of a (complete) metric space iff G coincides with its G-delta-closure in the Rajkov completion of G (resp. if G is Rajkov-complete). It is also shown…
In the spirit of Hjorth's turbulence theory, we introduce "unbalancedness": a new dynamical obstruction to classifying orbit equivalence relations by actions of Polish groups which admit a two side invariant metric (TSI). Since abelian…
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…
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…
Given a locally compact Polish space X, a necessary and sufficient condition for a group G of homeomorphisms of X to be the full isometry group of (X,d) for some proper metric d on X is given. It is shown that every locally compact Polish…
For a continuous action of a countable discrete group $G$ on a Polish space $X$, a countable Borel partition $P$ of $X$ is called a generator if $G \cdot P := \{ gC : g \in G, C \in P \}$ generates the Borel $\sigma$-algebra of $X$. For $G…
In this paper, we prove several results concerning Polish group topologies on groups of non-singular transformation. We first prove that the group of measure-preserving transformations of the real line whose support has finite measure…
A topological space is defined to be banalytic (resp. analytic) if it is the image of a Polish space under a Borel (resp. continuous) map. A regular topological space is analytic if and only if it is banalytic and cosmic. Each (regular)…
We define and study Poissonian actions of Polish groups as a framework to Poisson suspensions, characterize them spectrally, and provide a complete characterization of their ergodicity. We further construct 'spatial' Poissonian actions,…
Given a class C of subgroups of a topological group G, we say that a subgroup H in C is a universal C subgroup of G if every subgroup K in C is a continuous homomorphic preimage of H. Such subgroups may be regarded as complete members of C…
We present the (Lascar) Galois group of any countable theory as a quotient of a compact Polish group by an $F_\sigma$ normal subgroup: in general, as a topological group, and under NIP, also in terms of Borel cardinality. This allows us to…
Suppose $X$ is a locally compact Polish space, and $G$ is a group of lattice isometries of $C_0(X)$ which satisfies certain conditions. Then we can equip $C_0(X)$ with an equivalent lattice norm $| \! | \! | \cdot | \! | \! |$ so that $G$…
A Polish group is said to be locally Roelcke precompact if there is a neighborhood of the identity element that is totally bounded in the Roelcke (or lower) group uniformity. These form a subclass of the locally bounded groups, while…
We study the complexity of isomorphism of classes of metric structures using methods from infinitary continuous logic. For Borel classes of locally compact structures, we prove that if the equivalence relation of isomorphism is potentially…
In this paper, we investigate Polish semigroup topologies on the endomorphism monoids $\operatorname{End}(\mathbb{N},\leq)$ and $\operatorname{End}(\mathbb{Z},\leq)$. We introduce a new structural condition, property $\mathbb{XX}$, which…
In this article, motivated by a problem asked by Allison and Panagiotopoulos, we study a problem concerning the complexity of group extensions within a hierarchy (denoted by $\alpha$-CLI and L-$\alpha$-CLI) on the class of non-archimedean…
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…
