Effective Descriptive Set Theory
Effective descriptive set theory is the branch of descriptive set theory dealing with sets of reals having lightface definitions; that is, definitions that do not require an arbitrary real parameter (Moschovakis 1980). Thus effective descriptive set theory combines descriptive set theory with recursion theory. Constructions Effective Polish space An effective Polish space is a complete separable metric space that has a computable presentation. Such spaces are studied in both effective descriptive set theory and in constructive analysis. In particular, standard examples of Polish spaces such as the real line, the Cantor set and the Baire space are all effective Polish spaces. Arithmetical hierarchy The arithmetical hierarchy, arithmetic hierarchy or Kleene–Mostowski Mostowski (feminine: Mostowska, plural: Mostowscy) is a surname. It may refer to: * Mostowski Palace (), an 18th-century palace in Warsaw * Andrzej Mostowski (1913 - 1975), a Polish mathematician ** Mo ...

Descriptive Set Theory
In mathematical logic, descriptive set theory (DST) is the study of certain classes of "well-behaved" set (mathematics), subsets of the real line and other Polish spaces. As well as being one of the primary areas of research in set theory, it has applications to other areas of mathematics such as functional analysis, ergodic theory, the study of operator algebras and Group action (mathematics), group actions, and mathematical logic. Polish spaces Descriptive set theory begins with the study of Polish spaces and their Borel sets. A Polish space is a second-countable topological space that is metrizable with a complete metric. Heuristically, it is a complete separable metric space whose metric has been "forgotten". Examples include the real line \mathbb, the Baire space (set theory), Baire space \mathcal, the Cantor space \mathcal, and the Hilbert cube I^. Universality properties The class of Polish spaces has several universality properties, which show that there is no loss ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
