Abstract
For any Polish space it is well-known that the Cantor-Bendixson rank provides a co-analytic rank on if and only if is a -compact. In the case of one may recover a co-analytic rank on by considering the Cantor-Bendixson rank of the induced trees instead. In this paper we will generalize this idea to arbitrary Polish spaces and thereby construct a family of co-analytic ranks on for any Polish space . We study the behaviour of this family and compare the ranks to the original Cantor-Bendixson rank. The main results are characterizations of the compact and -compact Polish spaces in terms of this behaviour.
