Apr 1, 2016 at 18:41 comment added Geoff Galgon If by the Cantor-Bendixon theorem you mean the fact that every closed subspace of $2^{\omega}$ can be partitioned into the union of a countable scattered part and a (if non-empty) continuum sized perfect part, this was generalized to the $2^{\omega_1}$ context (the $\omega_1$-box topology) by Väänänen (``A Cantor-Bendixon Theorem for the Space $\omega_1^{\omega_1}$", Fundamenta Mathematicae 1991). He uses a measurable cardinal for his consistency, but in fact you can get the consistency of the same result, and for any other particular regular uncountable $\kappa$, from just an inaccessible.

Mar 31, 2016 at 20:08 comment added Boaz Tsaban @PaulMcKenney: Thanks, this is useful! It would be very useful if someone could locate, in addition, a survey or at least a wide scope paper dealing with higher combinatorial cardinals of the (higher) continuum, such as $\mathfrak{b}_\kappa$ and $\mathfrak{d}_\kappa$. Also, a survey of more "classical" descriptive set theory ( a "higher Kechris book", so to speak) for the higher continuum is much in need.
Mar 31, 2016 at 19:34 comment added Paul McKenney I remember Sy Friedman talking about descriptive-set-theoretic results for $2^\kappa$ and $\kappa^\kappa$ at the Young Set Theory meeting in 2013. This seems to be the kind of thing you're looking for. You can find slides here, and a paper here. I haven't gone through either of these very thoroughly, though.
