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…
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…
A Borel equivalence relation on a Polish space is said to be countable if all of its equivalence classes are countable. Standard examples of countable Borel equivalence relations (on the space of subsets of the integers) that occur in…
The study of Borel equivalence relations under Borel reducibility has developed into an important area of descriptive set theory. The dichotomies of Silver and Harrington-Kechris-Louveau show that with respect to Borel reducibility, any…
We consider reducibility of equivalence relations (ERs, for brevity), in a nonstandard domain, in terms of the Borel reducibility and the countably determined (CD, for brevity) reducibility. This reveals phenomena partially analogous to…
We prove that the relation of bisimilarity between countable labelled transition systems is $\Sigma_1^1$-complete (hence not Borel), by reducing the set of non-wellorders over the natural numbers continuously to it. This has an impact on…
We study the class of Borel equivalence relations under continuous reducibility. In particular , we characterize when a Borel equivalence relation with countable equivalence classes is $\Sigma$ 0 $\xi$ (or $\Pi$ 0 $\xi$). We characterize…
We prove that many seemingly simple theories have Borel complete reducts. Specifically, if a countable theory has uncountably many complete 1-types, then it has a Borel complete reduct. Similarly, if $Th(M)$ is not small, then $M^{eq}$ has…
The following will be shown: Let $I$ be a $\sigma$-ideal on a Polish space $X$ with the property that the associated forcing of $I^+$ Borel subsets ordered by $\subseteq$ is a proper forcing. Let E be an analytic or coanalytic equivalence…
We study computably enumerable equivalence relations (ceers) on N and unravel a rich structural theory for a strong notion of reducibility among ceers.
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…
In this paper we first consider hyperfinite Borel equivalence relations with a pair of Borel $\mathbb{Z}$-orderings. We define a notion of compatibility between such pairs, and prove a dichotomy theorem which characterizes exactly when a…
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…
In this paper, we construct a compact subset of the real plane whose path-connectedness equivalence relation is Borel bireducible to a nonsmooth hyperfinite Borel equivalence relation. This answers a question of \cite{bec98}.
We consider a large family of theories of equivalence relations, each with finitely many classes, and assuming the existence of an $\omega$-Erdos cardinal, we determine which of these theories are Borel complete. We develop machinery,…
We give the first examples of nonabelian left-orderable groups such that the conjugacy orbit equivalence relation on its space of orders has infinity orbits, yet it is smooth in the Borel sense. The examples are all nilpotent groups and we…
We characterize having Borel isomorphism relation among some weakly minimal trivial theories, namely the examples of families of finite equivalence relations from recent joint work with Laskowski, and tame expansions of…
We show that the embeddability relations for countable quandles and for countable fields of any given characteristic other than 2 are maximally complex in a strong sense: they are invariantly universal. This notion from the theory of Borel…
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…
This paper is devoted to the study of analytic equivalence relations which are Borel graphable, i.e. which can be realized as the connectedness relation of a Borel graph. Our main focus is the question of which analytic equivalence…
