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.

Does every cofinal branch through Kleene's O compute true arithmetic?
My question concerns cofinal branches through Kleene's $O$, which is a set of natural numbers and a computably enumerable relation $<_O$ on this set that provides
ordinal denotations for any desired c …
