Abstract: A canonization scheme for smooth equivalence relations on mathbbRomega modulo restriction to infinite perfect products is proposed. It shows that given a pair of Borel smooth equivalence relations mathsfE,mathsfF on mathbbRomega, there is an infinite perfect product PsubseteqmathbbRomega such that either mathsfFsubseteqmathsfE on P, or, for some j<omega, the following is true for all x,yinP: x,mathsfE,y implies x(j)=y(j), and xestriction(omegasmallsetminusj)=yestriction(omegasmallsetminusj) implies x,mathsfF,y.


Recall that the equivalence relation \(E_0\) on \(2^\omega\) is defined as \[xE_0y\iff\exists m\forall n>m(x(n)=y(n))\] for all \(x,y\in 2^\omega\). An equivalence relation \(E\) on a standard Borel space \(X\) is \textit{smooth} if there exsits aBorel map \(f:X\to 2^\omega\) satisfying \[xEy\iff f(x)=f(y).\] A Borel set \(X\subseteq 2^\omega\) is \textit{\(E_0\)-large} if \(E_0\upharpoonright X\) is not smooth. An infinite \textit{perfect product} is a set \(P\subseteq(2^\omega)^\omega\) such that \(P=\prod_{l<\omega}P(l)\), where \(P(l)\) is a perfect subset of \(2^\omega\). Furthermore, if each \(P(l)\) is an \(E_0\)-large set, we say that \(P\) is an \(E_0\)-large perfect product. The main result of this article is: Theorem. If \(E,F\) are smooth equivalence relations on \((2^\omega)^\omega\), then there is an \(E_0\)-large perfect product \(P\subseteq(2^\omega)^\omega\) such that either \(F\subseteq E\) on \(P\), or, for some \(l<\omega\) and for all \(x,y\in P\), \(xEy\) implies \(x(l)=y(l)\), and \(x\upharpoonright(\omega\setminus\{l\})=y\upharpoonright(\omega\setminus\{l\})\) implies \(xFy\).
