A strong Borel selection theorem for equivalence relations

In Kechris' book "Classical Descriptive Set Theory" there is the following theorem (12.16): Let $X$ be a Polish space and $E$ an equivalence relation such that every equivalence class is ...

A rather non-$F_\sigma$ Borel set

I asked this question at MSE a week ago, but received no answer, so I cross-post it here. I obtained a negative answer to this MSE question provided each metric space $X$ such that $|X|=\frak c$ and ...

Sierpinski's characterization of $F_{\sigma\delta}$ spaces

According to [2]: Let $X$ be a space. We call a system $(X_s)_{s\in T}$ a Sierpinski stratification of $X$ if $T$ is a nonempty tree over a countable alphabet and $X_s$ is a closed subset of $X$ for ...

A question about Borel sets on the unit interval

It is known that each non-decreasing continuous function $\phi$ induces a $\sigma$-additive measure $d\phi$ such that $\int_0^1 f(x) d\phi(x)$ exists for every bounded real-valued Baire function $f$. ...

Separating two sets by a $\boldsymbol{\Delta}_3^0$ set

Let $X$ be a Polish space and $A,B\subseteq X$ be such that $A\cap B = \emptyset$, we know that if there is no $\boldsymbol{\Delta}_2^0$ set separating $A$ from $B$ then there exists a Cantor set $C\...
