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 a completely metrizable space admit a compatible metric where all intersections of nest...
Let us say that a topological space $X$ is spherically completely metrizable if the topology of $X$ is generated by a spherically complete metric.
Theorem. Every closed subspace $X$ of the countable …

Which topological spaces have a standard Borel $\sigma$-algebra?
Since every Polish space is Borel isomorphic to a zero-dimensional compact metric space, it suffices to characterize topological spaces, which are Borel isomorphic to a zero-dimensional compact metri …

Yes, there exists such a function: Consider the real line as a linear space over the field $\mathbb Q$ and find a linearly independent Cantor set $C\subseteq \mathbb R$

Is the topology of weak+Hausdorff convergence Polish?
The set $MS=\{(\mu,K)\in P_X\times K_X:\mathrm{supp}(\mu)=K\}$ is of type $G_\delta$ in $P_X\times K_X$ and hence the weak+Hausdorff topology on $P_X$ is Polish.
Indeed, fix any countable base $\{U_n\ …

Hausdorff quasi-Polish spaces
I hope that the following space $P\mathbb Q^\omega$ is second-countable and quasi-Polish but not Polish.
Let $\mathbb Q$ be the field of rational numbners endowed with the discrete topology. Then its …

Is every Borel function a projection of a Borel function with closed graph?
Yes, this is true: by Exercise 13.5 in Kechris' "Classical Descriptive Set Theory", for any Borel function $f:X\to Y$ between Polish spaces there exists a continuous bijective map $i:Z\to X$ from a Po …

The Borel class of a countable union of $G_\delta$-sets, which are absolute $F_{\sigma\delta}$
The answer to this question is negative and follows from
Theorem. Each $G_{\delta\sigma}$-subset $A$ of a Polish space $X$ can be written as the union $\bigcup_{n\in\omega}A_n$ of a sequence $(A_n)_{n …

Is the Hilbert cube the countable union of punctiform spaces?
The Hilbert cube can be written as the union of two punctiform spaces. Just take any Bernstein set $X\subset[0,1]^\omega$ and observe that compact subsets in $X$ and $Y=[0,1]^\omega\setminus X$ are at …

Small uncountable cardinals related to $\sigma$-continuity
It seems that the equality $\sigma=\aleph_1$ established by Will Brian in the Cohen model, can be derived from the following upper bound for $\sigma$, which answers Problem 4.
Theorem 1. $\sigma\l …

Do continuous maps factor through continuous surjections via Borel maps?
Just a small addition to the existing answers.
