Abstract

There is a general conjecture, the dichotomy (C) about Borel equivalence relations E: (i) E is Borel reducible to the equivalence relation EX_G where X is a Polish space, and a Polish group acting continuously on X; or (ii) a canonical relation E1 is Borel reducible to E. (C) is only proved for special cases as in [So].  In this paper we make a contribution to the study of (C): a stronger conjecture is true for hereditary subspaces of the Polish space ω of real sequences, i.e., subspaces such that [y=(yn)nX and ∀n, |xn||yn|]x=(xn)nX. If such an X is analytic as a subset of ω, then either X is Polishable as a vector subspace, or X admits a subspace strongly isomorphic to the space c00 of finite sequences, or to the space of bounded sequences.  When X is Polishable, the metrics have a very simple form as in the case studied in [So], which allows us to study precisely the properties of those X's

Keywords
