Two dimensional perfect sets
Consider the following family of sets
$$ \begin{align*}
\mathcal{F} = \{X\subseteq [0,1]\times [0,1] \mid \ &X \text{ is closed and }\\& \forall x \in \pi_0 (X) (\{y \in [0,1] \mid (x,y) \in ...

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 ...

Every Polish space is the image of the Baire space by a continuous and closed map, reference
The following result was originally proven by Engelking in his 1969 paper On closed images of the space of irrationals (AMS, JSTOR, MR239571, Zbl 0177.25501)
Every Polish space (i.e. every separable ...

Is the generalized Baire space complete?
I want to see whether the fact that the Baire space $\omega^\omega$ is a complete (metrizable) space generalizes to $\kappa^\kappa$ being a complete (topological) space. I think this is an easy ...

Consistency of the Hurewicz dichotomy property
Just to fix the environment, let's work in the Baire space $\omega^\omega$, the space of infinite sequences of natural numbers with the product of the discrete topology over $\omega$. We say that a ...

Separable metrizable spaces far from being completely metrizable
I came across a kind of separable metrizable space that is "far" from being completely metrizable. Before specifying what I mean with "far", I recall that a space is said to be ...

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 ...

Borel selections of usco maps on metrizable compacta
The problem posed below is motivated by this problem of Chris Heunen and in fact is its reformulation in the language of usco maps. Let us recal that an usco map is an upper semicontinuous compact-...

Co-analytic $Q$-sets
A subset $A\subseteq \mathbb{R}$ is said to be a $Q$-set if every subset $B\subseteq A$ is $F_\sigma$ wrt the subspace topology on $A$. For example $\mathbb{Q}$ is a $Q$-set. The first time I have ...
