Page 2: Vincenzo Dimonte Joint work with Luca Motto Ros and ...users.dimi.uniud.it/~vincenzo.dimonte/Campinas_talk.pdf · There is a branch of research in set theory called \Generalized descriptive

Objective

The study of definable subsets of non-separable spaces with singularuncountable weight

.Or, doing generalized descriptive set theory with singular cardinalsinstead of regular ones.

Inspiration (Kechris)

“Descriptive set theory is the study of definable sets in Polish spa-ces”, and of their regularity properties.

Classical case

Polish spaces: separable completely metrizable spaces, e.g. theCantor space ω2 and the Baire space ωω.Definable subsets: Borel sets, analytic sets, projective sets. . .Regularity properties: Perfect set property (PSP), Baire property,Lebesgue measurability. . .

Classical results

• ω2 is the unique compact perfect zero-dimensional Polishspace

• Every zero-dimensional Polish space is homeomorphic to aclosed space of ωω and a Gδ subset of ω2, therefore results onthe Cantor space spread to all zero-dimensional Polish spaces

• Every Polish space is continuous image of a closed subset ofωω

• Lusin Separation Theorem and Souslin Theorem (i.e., Borel =bi-analytic)

• Every analytic set satisfies PSP, Baire property and Lebesguemeasurability

• Silver Dichotomy, i.e., PSP for co-analytic equivalencerelations

By the first and second points, all the other points are true in anyzero-dimensional Polish space, and “partially” true in every Polishspace.

What happens to the “nice” properties that we had on theclassical case?

A lot is lost, most of the nontrivial results are eitherfalse or independent of ZFC:

GDST results

Complete metrizability: If κ > ω and regular, then κ2 is not com-pletely metrizable. Therefore we cannot talk of “κ-Polish spaces”.Lusin separation and Souslin theorems: False when κ > ω.PSP: κ-PSP for closed/κ+-Borel/analytic sets is independent ofZFC.Silver Dichotomy: κ-Silver Dichotomy is independent of ZFC (veryfalse in L for κ inaccessible).Bonus: κκ 6≈ κ2 only if κ is weakly compact.

The culprit here seems to be the fact that κ is regular. What if κis singular? There is already some bibliography on that...

We wanted to give some order to this variety of approaches, anddefine a single framework where they all live, and that is close tothe “classical” approach.
