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.

Is the Hilbert cube the countable union of punctiform spaces?
Recall that a (separable) metric space is called punctiform, if all its compact subspaces are zero-dimensional. While "natural" spaces would seem to be punctiform if they already themselves zero-dimen …

How (non-)computable is set theory?
Here is a naive outsiders perspective on set theory: A typical set-theoretical result involves constructing new models of set theory from given ones (typically with different theories for the original …

Closed balls vs closure of open balls
We work in a separable metric space $(X,d)$. With $\overline{B}(x,r)$ I denote the closed ball around $x$ of radius $r$, and with $cl \ B(x,r)$ I denote the closure of the open ball. Clearly, we alway …

Illfounded trees as "retract" of all trees
Definitions: Let $\omega^{<\omega}$ be the set of all finite sequences of natural numbers. For $u, v \in \omega^{<\omega}$, let $u \prec v$ denote that $u$ is a prefix of $v$. We call a subset $T \sub …
