Abstract
Let be an uncountable cardinal such that . Working in the setup of generalized descriptive set theory, we study the structure of -Borel measurable functions with respect to various kinds of limits, and isolate a suitable notion of -Baire class function. Among other results, we provide higher analogues of two classical theorems of Lebesgue, Hausdorff, and Banach, namely: (1) A function is -Borel measurable if and only if it can be obtained from continuous functions by iteratively applying pointwise -limits, where varies among directed sets of size at most . (2) A function is of -Baire class if and only if it is -measurable.
