Borel $\sigma$-algebras on paths of bounded variation

Let $(C, \|\cdot\|)$ be the Banach space of continuous paths $x: [0,1]\rightarrow\mathbb{R}^d$ starting at zero with sup-norm $\|\cdot\|$. Let further $B\subset C$ be the subspace of $0$-started ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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-...

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 ...
