Borel complexity of modules

Logic 2022-09-16 v1 Commutative Algebra

Abstract

We prove that for a countable, commutative ring RR, the class of countable RR-modules either has only countably many isomorphism types, or else it is Borel complete. The machinery gives a succinct proof of the Borel completeness of TFAB, the class of torsion-free abelian groups. We also prove that for any countable ring RR, both the class of left RR-modules endowed with an endomorphism and the class of left RR-modules with four named submodules are Borel complete.
