Hyperfiniteness and Borel combinatorics (Q2302850): Difference between revisions

Summary: We study the relationship between hyperfiniteness and problems in Borel graph combinatorics by adapting game-theoretic techniques introduced by Marks to the hyperfinite setting. We compute the possible Borel chromatic numbers and edge chromatic numbers of bounded degree acyclic hyperfinite Borel graphs and use this to answer a question of Kechris and Marks about the relationship between Borel chromatic number and measure chromatic number. We also show that for every \(d > 1\) there is a \(d\)-regular acyclic hyperfinite Borel bipartite graph with no Borel perfect matching. These techniques also give examples of hyperfinite bounded degree Borel graphs for which the Borel local lemma fails, in contrast to the recent results of \textit{E. Csóka} et al. [``Borel version of the local lemma'', Preprint, \url{arXiv:1605.04877}]. Related to the Borel Ruziewicz problem, we show there is a continuous paradoxical action of \(\mathbb Z/2\mathbb Z)^{*3}\) on a Polish space that admits a finitely additive invariant Borel probability measure, but admits no countably additive invariant Borel probability measure. In the context of studying ultrafilters on the quotient space of equivalence relations under AD, we also construct an ultrafilter \(U\) on the quotient of \(E_0\) which has surprising complexity. In particular, Martin's measure is Rudin-Keisler reducible to \(U\). We end with a problem about whether every hyperfinite bounded degree Borel graph has a witness to its hyperfiniteness which is uniformly bounded below in size.
