Non-Archimedean TSI Polish groups and their potential Borel complexity spectrum

Abstract: A variation of the Scott analysis of countable structures is applied to actions of non-Archimedean TSI Polish groups acting continuously on a Polish spaces. We give results on the potential Borel complexity spectrum of such groups, and define orbit equivalence relations that are universal for each Borel complexity class. We also identify an obstruction to classifiability by actions of such groups, namely generic ergodicity with respect to $E_\infty$, which we apply to Clemens-Coskey jumps of countable Borel equivalence relations. Finally, we characterize the equivalence relations that are both Borel-reducible to $=^+$ and classifiable by non-Archimedean TSI Polish groups, extending a result of Ding and Gao. In the process, several tools are developed in the Borel reducibility theory of orbit equivalence relations which are likely to be of independent interest.
