We develop the basics of an analogue of descriptive set theory for functions on a Polish space $X$. We use this to define a version of the small index property in the context of Polish topometric groups, and show that Polish topometric…
For a Tychonoff space $X$ and a family $\lambda$ of subsets of $X$, we denote by $C_{\lambda}(X)$ the space of all real-valued continuous functions on $X$ with the set-open topology. In this paper, we study the Menger and projective Menger…
The purpose of this article is to define a capacity on certain topological measure spaces $X$ with respect to certain function spaces $V$ consisting of measurable functions. In this general theory we will not fix the space $V$ but we…
Let $\Gamma(X)$ be the inverse semigroup of partial homeomorphisms between open subsets of a compact metric space $X$. There is a topology, denoted $\tau_{hco}$, that makes $\Gamma(X)$ a topological inverse semigroup. We address the…
In this paper we introduce and study so-called $k^*$-metrizable spaces forming a new class of generalized metric spaces, and display various applications of such spaces in topological algebra, functional analysis, and measure theory. By…
We examine conditions on a (compact metrizable) space $X$ such that for any space $Y$ and closed subspace $Z$, the set of continuous functions from $Z$ to $X$ which extend to $Y$ is either open or closed in the set of continuous functions…
For a given bi-continuous semigroup T on a Banach space X we define its adjoint on an appropriate closed subspace X^o of the norm dual X'. Under some abstract conditions this adjoint semigroup is again bi-continuous with respect to the weak…
We give, for some Borel sets of a product of two Polish spaces, including the Borel sets with countable sections, a Hurewicz-like characterization of those which cannot become a transfinite difference of open sets by changing the two Polish…
Suppose that $f$ belongs to a suitably defined complete metric space $ {{\cal C}}^{{\alpha}}$ of H\"older $ {\alpha}$-functions defined on $[0,1]$. We are interested in whether one can find large (in the sense of Hausdorff, or lower/upper…
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…
The paper introduces a general method to construct conformal measures for a local homeomorphism on a locally compact non-compact Hausdorff space, subject to mild irreducibility-like conditions. Among others the method is used to give…
The Wadge hierarchy was originally defined and studied only in the Baire space (and some other zero-dimensional spaces). We extend it here to arbitrary topological spaces by providing a set-theoretic definition of all its levels. We show…
For a compact Hausdorff space $K$, we give descriptions of the dual of $C(K)^\delta$, the Dedekind completion of the Banach lattice $C(K)$ of continuous, real-valued functions on $K$. We characterize those functionals which are…
We use Fra\" iss\'e theoretic methods to construct several universal and ultrahomogeneous Polish metric structures. Namely, universal and ultrahomogeneous Polish metric space equipped with countably many closed subsets of its powers,…
We study the mean orbital pseudo-metric for Polish dynamical systems and its connections with properties of the space of invariant measures. We give equivalent conditions for when the set of invariant measures generated by periodic points…
We introduce a continuous scale of Hilbert spaces of entire functions $P_\beta (D)$ for a bounded convex domain $D$ on the complex plane. For the parameters $\beta \in (\frac 12;\frac 32)$ a complete description of the spaces of Borel…
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…
We analyze the effective content of countable, second countable topological spaces by directly calculating the complexity of several topologically defined index sets. We focus on the separation principles, calibrating an arithmetic…
Given a domain $\Omega \subset \mathbb C$, the Lempert function is a functional on the space $Hol (\D,\Omega)$ of analytic disks with values in $\Omega$, depending on a set of poles in $\Omega$. We generalize its definition to the case…
A topological measure on a locally compact space is a set function on open and closed subsets which is finitely additive on the collection of open and compact sets, inner regular on open sets, and outer regular on closed sets. Almost all…
