Abstract

top
We develop the theory of topological Hurewicz test pairs: a concept which allows us to distinguish the classes of the Borel hierarchy by Baire category in a suitable topology. As an application we show that for every Π ξ 0 and not Σ ξ 0 subset P of a Polish space X there is a σ -ideal 2 X such that P but for every Σ ξ 0 set B P there is a Π ξ 0 set B ' P satisfying B B ' . We also discuss several other results and problems related to ideal generation and Hurewicz test pairs.

As an application we show that for every ${\Pi }^{0}_{\xi }$ and not ${\Sigma }^{0}_{\xi }$ subset $P$ of a Polish space $X$ there is a $\sigma $-ideal $\mathcal {I}\subseteq 2^{X}$ such that $P\notin \mathcal {I}$ but for every ${\Sigma }^{0}_{\xi }$ set $B\subseteq P$ there is a ${\Pi }^{0}_{\xi }$ set $B^{\prime }\subseteq P$ satisfying $B\subseteq B^{\prime }\in \mathcal {I}$.
