Perfect subsets of generalized Baire spaces and long games

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We extend Solovay's theorem about definable subsets of the Baire space to the generalized Baire space lambdalambda, where lambda is an uncountable cardinal with lambda<lambda=lambda. In the first main theorem, we show that that the perfect set property for all subsets of lambdalambda that are definable from elements of lambdamathrmOrd is consistent relative to the existence of an inaccessible cardinal above lambda. In the second main theorem, we introduce a Banach-Mazur type game of length lambda and show that the determinacy of this game, for all subsets of lambdalambda that are definable from elements of lambdamathrmOrd as winning conditions, is consistent relative to the existence of an inaccessible cardinal above lambda. We further obtain some related results about definable functions on lambdalambda and consequences of resurrection axioms for definable subsets of lambdalambda.
