In the context of generalized descriptive set theory, we systematically compare and analyze various notions of Polish-like spaces and standard $\kappa$-Borel spaces for $\kappa$ an uncountable (regular) cardinal satisfying $\kappa^{<\kappa}…

Descriptive set theory is mainly concerned with studying subsets of the space of all countable binary sequences. In this paper we study the generalization where countable is replaced by uncountable. We explore properties of generalized…

Kunen's proof of the non-existence of Reinhardt cardinals opened up the research on very large cardinals, i.e., hypotheses at the limit of inconsistency. One of these large cardinals, I0, proved to have descriptive-set-theoretical…

Descriptive set theory was originally developed on Polish spaces. It was later extended to $\omega$-continuous domains [Selivanov 2004] and recently to quasi-Polish spaces [de Brecht 2013]. All these spaces are countably-based. Extending…

This paper investigates the problem of extending measure theory to non-separable structures, from generalized descriptive set theory to a broader class of spaces beyond this framework. While various notions, such as the ideal of measure…

Generalizing classical descriptive set theory opens foundational questions about the Borel hierarchy. In this paper we systematically study those questions, working in the general framework of Polish-like spaces relative to an uncountable…

Given a strong limit cardinal $\lambda$ of countable cofinality, we show that if every $\lambda$-coanalytic subset of the generalised Cantor space ${}^{\lambda}2$ has the $\lambda$-$\mathsf{PSP}$, then there is an inner model with…

We give a partial answer to an important open problem in descriptive set theory, the Decomposability Conjecture for Borel functions on an analytic subset of a Polish space to a separable metrizable space. Our techniques employ deep results…

Let $\lambda$ be an uncountable cardinal such that $2^{< \lambda } = \lambda$. Working in the setup of generalized descriptive set theory, we study the structure of $\lambda^+$-Borel measurable functions with respect to various kinds of…

We introduce a new topological generalization of the $\sigma$-projective hierarchy, not limited to Polish spaces. Earlier attempts have replaced $^{\omega}\omega$ by $^{\kappa}\kappa$, for $\kappa$ regular uncountable, or replaced countable…

The paper tries to extend results of the classical Descriptive Set Theory to as many countably based T_0-spaces (cb_0-spaces) as possible. Along with extending some central facts about Borel, Luzin and Hausdorff hierarchies of sets we…

This article explores the model-dependent nature of set cardinality, emphasizing that cardinality is not absolute but varies across different axiomatic frameworks. Although Cantor's diagonal argument shows the real numbers are…

In this paper, we are interested in parallels to the classical notions of special subsets in $\R$ defined in the generalized Cantor and Baire spaces ($2^\kappa$ and $\kappa^\kappa$). We consider generalizations of the well-known classes of…

In this article we study for which Cantor sets there exists a gauge-function h, such that the h-Hausdorff-measure is positive and finite. We show that the collection of sets for which this is true is dense in the set of all compact subsets…

We extend Solovay's theorem about definable subsets of the Baire space to the generalized Baire space ${}^\lambda\lambda$, where $\lambda$ is an uncountable cardinal with $\lambda^{<\lambda}=\lambda$. In the first main theorem, we show that…

A subset of the Cantor cube is null-additive if its algebraic sum with any null set is null. We construct a set of cardinality continuum such that: all continuous images of the set into the Cantor cube are null-additive, it contains a…

A Cantor set is a non-empty, compact set that has neither interior nor isolated points. In this paper a Cantor set $K\subseteq \mathbb{R}$ is constructed such that every set definable in $(\mathbb{R},<,+,\cdot,K)$ is Borel. In addition, we…
