Descriptive Set Theory is the study of definable subsets of Polish spaces, where definable is taken to mean from the Borel or projective hierarchies. Other topics include infinite games and determinacy, definable equivalence relations and Borel reductions between them, Polish groups, and effective descriptive set theory.

Hyperarithmetically least elements in $\Pi^1_1$ sets

It is well known that there is a nonempty $\Pi^0_1$ set $A\subseteq \omega^{\omega}$ containing no hyperarithmetic member.(Considering a $\Sigma^1_1$ set without a hyperarithmetic member, it is a proj …

Intersection of (relativized/preimage) measure 0 with every hyperarithmetic perfect set

The answer is no. Let $X$ be any nonempty $\Delta^1_1$ set without hyperarithmetic member. Now suppose that $T$ is a $\Delta^1_1$-perfect tree. So there is a hyperarithmetic homeomorphism $f:[T]\to 2^ …

$\Pi^0_2$ singleton forming minimal pair with $0''$

Maybe I should give a more detailed answer. Harrington proved (or claimed) the following result in his handwritten draft. Theorem There is a $\Pi^0_2$-singleton $x$ so that $\forall n<\omega (x^{(n)} …

A Borel perfectly everywhere surjective function on the Cantor set

I think that recursion theory gives a clearer way to answer the question. If $f$ is a Borel function, then it is a hyperarithmetic reduction relative to a real, say $x$. Then fix any "regular" forcin …

Borel hierarchy and tail sets

Here is an example: Let $A=\{0,1\}$ and for any $x\in \{0,1\}^{\omega}$, let $n<_x m$ if $x(2^n\cdot 3^m)=1$. For any countable ordinal $\alpha$, let $x\in U_{\alpha}$ if there is some $l$ so that $ …

The measure of ideals generated by random reals

The question has a negative answer. The technique is essentially due to Jockusch and Posner. Proof: Let $x$ be a real in which every constructible real is recursive. Now $$A=\{r\mid r\mbox{ is Mar …

Regularity properties of Turing-invariant and arbitrary sets of reals

Here is not an answer but an example: Let PSP be the statement that every uncountable set of reals has a perfect subset and TPSP that every uncountable set of Turing degrees has a perfect subset. Th …

A partial relativization of Gandy's basis theorem

Hmmm, it seems the answer to the question is no. Fix any nonhyperarithmetic real $x$ so that the $\Sigma^1_1(x)$ set $$A_x=\{y\mid \forall n \in \mathscr{O} ( x\not\leq_T y^{(|n|)})\}$$ is not empty, …

Is it known how the Sigma Algebra generated by Jordan measurable sets compares to universall...

Here is an answer to your question. Assume $V=L$, there is a null $\Pi^1_1$-set which is not in $\sigma(J)$. Proof: Let $A=\{x\mid x\in L_{\omega_1^x}\}$ be the $\Pi^1_1$-null set. Now suppos …

$\Delta^{1}_{2}$ and degrees of constructibility $\textbf{on sets}$

Here is a partial positive answer: i.e. either $A$ or $\bar{A}$ contain elements of all degrees of constructibility of reals. Given an infinite set of numbers $x$, let $f:\omega\to \omega\cup \{x\} $ …

Is there a Borel subset of $ \mathbb{R}^{2} $, with finite vertical cross-sections, whose pr...

There is a pure recursion theoretical proof of the result. The idea is as follows: By Spector-Gandy theorem, a lightface Borel set $(x,y)$ is an r.e set over $L_{\omega_1^{CK}}[x,y]$. If there are at …

Vitali Sets vs Bernstein Sets...

For your second definition of Vitali set, I have a weak partial answer. Namely the existence of a Bernstein set does not imply the existence of a $T$-Vitali set. The answer can be found in logic blog …

Degree of unsolvability of finding a open approximation to a Borel set, given its Borel code

I think this is a well known fact. For example, let $\alpha$ be a recursive ordinal and $B=\{g\mid g\mbox{ is a }0^{(\alpha)}\mbox{-generic real}\}$. Then $B$ is a hyperarithmetic set and so has a re …

Borel cross section

There is a recursion theory method which is quite similar to Samuel's. By a classical recursion theory result, there is a recursive functional $F$ so that for any $x\in \omega^{\omega}$, $F(x)$ code …

Analytic uniformization

There is an arithmetical set $A\subseteq 2^{<\omega}\times \omega^{<\omega}$ so that for any $x\in 2^{\omega}$, $A(x)=\{\sigma\mid \exists n(x|n,\sigma)\in A\}$ is an $x$-recursive tree which has an i …
