We prove that the automorphisms of any separable C*-algebra that does not have continuous trace are not classifiable by countable structures up to unitary equivalence. This implies a dichotomy for the Borel complexity of the relation of…

Let $G$ be a topological group and let $\mu$ be the Lebesgue measure on the interval $[0,1]$. We let $L_0(G)$ to be the topological group of all $\mu$-equivalence classes of $\mu$-measurable functions defined on [0,1] with values in $G$,…

We indicate a way of distinguishing between structures, for which, two structures are said to be separable.Being separable implies being non-isomorphic. We show that for any first order theory $T$ in a countable language, if it has an…

Let G be an abelian group and let lambda be the smallest rank of any group whose direct sum with a free group is isomorphic to G. If lambda is uncountable, then G has lambda pairwise disjoint, non-free subgroups. There is an example where…

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…

In this paper, we prove a result on nonmeasurable subgroups in commutative Polish groups with respect to more generalized structures than sigma-finite measures.

Let $\Aut(G)$ denote the group of (bi-)continuous automorphisms %and $\Out(G)$ the outer automorphism group of a non-Archimedean Polish group~$G$. We show that for any such $G$ with an invariant countable basis of open subgroups, the group…

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…

For each ordinal $\alpha<\omega_1$, we introduce the class of $\alpha$-balanced Polish groups. These classes form a hierarchy that completely stratifies the space between the class of Polish groups admitting a two-side-invariant metric…

In his PhD Thesis Konstantinos Beros proved a number of results about compactly generated subgroups of Polish groups. Such a group is K-sigma - the countable union of compact sets. He notes that the group of rationals under addition with…

In this paper we further develop the theory of canonical approximations of Polishable subgroups of Polish groups, building on previous work of Solecki and Farah--Solecki. In particular, we obtain a characterization of such canonical…

We are concerned with questions of the following type. Suppose that $G$ and $K$ are topological groups belonging to a certain class $\cal K$ of spaces, and suppose that $\phi:K \to G$ is an abstract (i.e. not necessarily continuous)…

We study a structure of the group of unitriangular automorphisms of a free associative algebra and a polynomial algebra and prove that this group is a semi direct product of abelian groups. Using this decomposition we describe a structure…

We show that every non-Archimedean Polish group $P$ is the outer automorphism group of a countable discrete group $G_P$. Moreover, our construction provides a Borel map $f$ from the Effros space of closed subgroups of the permutation group…

In this thesis we explore natural procedures through which topological structure can be constructed from specific semigroups. We will do this in two ways: 1) we equip the semigroup object itself with a topological structure, and 2) we find…
