This talk will be an introduction to the field of Borel equivalence relations (also called invariant descriptive set theory). No background will be assumed. We will motivate the main object of study: a Borel reduction between equivalence relations on Polish spaces. This in turn allows to measure the complexity of various classification problems in mathematics, and to prove precise impossibility results regarding conjectured classifications. |
