Review text

The paper is an introduction to descriptive dynamics which means the descriptive set theory of Polish group actions. Via four lectures the author introduces basic notions and proves fundamental theorems concerning Polish spaces and Borel \(G\)-spaces. In these lectures he presents several constructions of universal Borel \(G\)-spaces for a~Polish group~\(G\), he shows that in Borel \(G\)-spaces Borel sets can be thought as clopen and Borel functions as continuous, he computes the complexity of the orbit equivalence relation, discusses the topological Vaught conjecture, basic theorems on Borel reducibility of Borel equivalence relations, and turbulence of Polish \(G\)-spaces. The paper contains a~plenty of examples and applications of the discussed notions. It is based on the text of a~series of lectures that were scheduled to be given by the author at the International Workshop on descriptive set theory and dynamical systems (CIRM, Luminy, July 1-5, 1996) and which were delivered by A.~Louveau. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0940.00035].
