Classical and Effective Descriptive Complexities of omega-Powers
Abstract: We prove that, for each non null countable ordinal alpha, there exist some Sigma0_alpha-complete omega-powers, and some Pi0_alpha-complete omega-powers, extending previous works on the topological complexity of omega-powers. We prove effective versions of these results. In particular, for each non null recursive ordinal alpha, there exists a recursive finitary language A such that Aomega is Sigma0_alpha-complete (respectively, Pi0_alpha-complete). To do this, we prove effective versions of a result by Kuratowski, describing a Borel set as the range of a closed subset of the Baire space by a continuous bijection. This leads us to prove closure properties for the classes Effective-Pi0_alpha and Effective-Sigma0_alpha of the hyperarithmetical hierarchy in arbitrary recursively presented Polish spaces. We apply our existence results to get better computations of the topological complexity of some sets of dictionaries considered by the second author in [Omega-Powers and Descriptive Set Theory, Journal of Symbolic Logic, Volume 70 (4), 2005, p. 1210-1232].
