Preservation of the Borel class under open-LC functions

Alexey Ostrovsky (2011)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

Let X be a Borel subset of the Cantor set C of additive or multiplicative class α, and f: X → Y be a continuous function onto Y ⊂ C with compact preimages of points. If the image f(U) of every clopen set U is the intersection of an open and a closed set, then Y is a Borel set of the same class α. This result generalizes similar results for open and closed functions.

Recent developments in the theory of Borel reducibility

Greg Hjorth, Alexander S. Kechris (2001)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

Let E₀ be the Vitali equivalence relation and E₃ the product of countably many copies of E₀. Two new dichotomy theorems for Borel equivalence relations are proved. First, for any Borel equivalence relation E that is (Borel) reducible to E₃, either E is reducible to E₀ or else E₃ is reducible to E. Second, if E is a Borel equivalence relation induced by a Borel action of a closed subgroup of the infinite symmetric group that admits an invariant metric, then either E is reducible...

Borel-Wadge degrees

Alessandro Andretta, Donald A. Martin (2003)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

Two sets of reals are Borel equivalent if one is the Borel pre-image of the other, and a Borel-Wadge degree is a collection of pairwise Borel equivalent subsets of ℝ. In this note we investigate the structure of Borel-Wadge degrees under the assumption of the Axiom of Determinacy.

Coordinatewise decomposition of group-valued Borel functions

Benjamin D. Miller (2007)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

Answering a question of Kłopotowski, Nadkarni, Sarbadhikari, and Srivastava, we characterize the Borel sets S ⊆ X × Y with the property that every Borel function f: S → ℂ is of the form f(x,y) = u(x) + v(y), where u: X → ℂ and v: Y → ℂ are Borel.
