Abstract

We construct a ∏11 equivalence relation E on ωω for which there is no largest E-thin, E-invariant ∏11 subset of ωω. Then we lift our result to the general case. Namely, we show that there is a ∏12n+1 equivalence relation for which there is no largest E-thin, E-invariant ∏12n+1 set under projective determinacy. This answers an open problem raised in Kechris [Ke2].

Our second result in this thesis is a representation for thin ∏13 equivalence relations on uω. Precisely, we show that for each thin ∏13 equivalence relation E on uω, there is a Δ13 in the codes map p: ωω → uω and a ∏13 in the codes equivalence relation e on uω such that for all real numbers x and y,

xEy ↔ (p(x),p(y))∈ e

This lifts Harrington's result about thin ∏11 equivalence relations to thin ∏13 equivalence relations.
