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…
The notion of computable reducibility between equivalence relations on the natural numbers provides a natural computable analogue of Borel reducibility. We investigate the computable reducibility hierarchy, comparing and contrasting it with…
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…
Louveau and Rosendal [5] have shown that the relation of bi-embeddability for countable graphs as well as for many other natural classes of countable structures is complete under Borel reducibility for analytic equivalence relations. This…
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…
Coskey, Hamkins, and Miller [CHM12] proposed two possible analogues of the class of countable Borel equivalence relations in the setting of computable reducibility of equivalence relations on the computably enumerable (c.e.) sets. The first…
We show that the category of countable Borel equivalence relations (CBERs) is dually equivalent to the category of countable $\mathcal{L}_{\omega_1\omega}$ theories which admit a one-sorted interpretation of a particular theory we call…
We prove that for every Borel equivalence relation $E$, either $E$ is Borel reducible to $\mathbb{E}\_0$, or the family of Borel equivalence relations incompatible with $E$ has cofinal essential complexity. It follows that if $F$ is a Borel…
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…
Let $(X_n,d_n),\,n\in\Bbb N$ be a sequence of pseudo-metric spaces, $p\ge 1$. For $x,y\in\prod_{n\in\Bbb N}X_n$, let $(x,y)\in E((X_n)_{n\in\Bbb N};p)\Leftrightarrow\sum_{n\in\Bbb N}d_n(x(n),y(n))^p<+\infty$. For Borel reducibility between…
We show that every basis for the countable Borel equivalence relations strictly above $\mathbb{E}_0$ under measure reducibility is uncountable, thereby ruling out natural generalizations of the Glimm-Effros dichotomy. We also push many…
We study the complexity with respect to Borel reducibility of the relations of isometry and isometric embeddability between ultrametric Polish spaces for which a set $D$ of possible distances is fixed in advance. These are, respectively, an…
Let $E\subseteq F$ and $E'\subseteq F'$ be Borel equivalence relations on the standard Borel spaces $X$ and $Y$, respectively. The pair $(E,F)$ is simultaneously Borel reducible to the pair $(E',F')$ if there is a Borel function $f:X\to Y$…
We study Borel equivalence relations induced by Borel actions of tsi Polish groups on standard Borel spaces. We characterize when such an equivalence relation admits classification by countable structures using a variant of the $\mathbb…
We examine the degree structure $\mathbf{ER}$ of equivalence relations on $\omega$ under computable reducibility. We examine when pairs of degrees have a join. In particular, we show that sufficiently incomparable pairs of degrees do not…
We prove that orbit equivalence relations (ERs, for brevity) of generically turbulent Polish actions are not Borel reducible to ER s of a family which includes Polish actions of S_\infty, the group of all permutations of N, and is closed…
For a class $\mathcal K$ of countable relational structures, a countable Borel equivalence relation $E$ is said to be $\mathcal K$-structurable if there is a Borel way to put a structure in $\mathcal K$ on each $E$-equivalence class. We…
Working in the framework of Borel reducibility, we study various notions of embeddability between groups. We prove that the embeddability between countable groups, the topological embeddability between (discrete) Polish groups, and the…
Let $X$ be a Polish space, $d$ a pseudo-metric on $X$. If $\{(u,v):d(u,v)<\delta\}$ is ${\bf\Pi}^1_1$ for each $\delta>0$, we show that either $(X,d)$ is separable or there are $\delta>0$ and a perfect set $C\subseteq X$ such that…
If $(X,d)$ is a Polish metric space of dimension $0$, then by Wadge's lemma, no more than two Borel subsets of $X$ can be incomparable with respect to continuous reducibility. In contrast, our main result shows that for any metric space…
