Higher-dimensional obstructions for star reductions
Volume 255 / 2021
Abstract
A $*$-reduction between two equivalence relations is a Baire measurable reduction which preserves generic notions, i.e., preimages of meager sets are meager. We show that a $*$-reduction between orbit equivalence relations induces generically an embedding between the associated Becker graphs. We introduce a notion of dimension for Polish $G$-spaces which is generically preserved under $*$-reductions. For every natural number $n$ we define a free action of $S_{\infty }$ whose dimension is $n$ on every invariant Baire measurable non-meager set. We also show that the $S_{\infty }$-space which induces the equivalence relation $=^{+}$ of countable sets of reals is $\infty $-dimensional on every invariant Baire measurable non-meager set. We conclude that the orbit equivalence relations associated to all these actions are pairwise incomparable with respect to $*$-reductions.
