Extract

The purpose of this paper is to give some natural examples of Borel-inseparable pairs of coanalytic sets in Polish spaces.

A Polish space is a topological space homeomorphic to a separable complete metric space. In this paper, all spaces are uncountable Polish spaces. A pointset is analytic (or ) if it is the continuous image of a Borel set (in any space), or equivalently, the projection of a Borel set, and is coanalytic (or ) if it is the complement of an analytic set. The class of analytic sets is closed under countable unions and intersections, images and preimages by Borel measurable functions, and projections; it is not closed under complements, hence there is an analytic set which is not Borel.
