  • Väänänen’s perfect set game

    Let X ⊆ κκ, let x0 ∈ κκ and let ω ≤ γ ≤ κ.

    Definition (Väänänen, 1991)

    The game Vγ(X,x0) has length γ and is played as follows:

    I U1 . . . Uα . . .

    II x0 x1 . . . xα . . .

    II first plays x0. In each round 0 < α < γ, I plays a basic open subsetUα of X, and then II chooses

    xα ∈ Uα with xα 6= xβ for all β < α.

    I has to play so that Uβ+1 3 xβ in each successor round β + 1 < γ andUα =

  • Perfect and scattered subsets of the κ-Baire space

    Let X ⊆ κκ, and suppose ω ≤ γ ≤ κ.

    Definition (Väänänen, 1991)

    X is a γ-scattered set if I wins Vγ(X,x0) for all x0 ∈ X.X is a γ-perfect set if X is closed and II wins Vγ(X,x0) for all x0 ∈ X.

    X is ω-perfect iff X is perfect in the usual sense (i.e., iff X closedand has no isolated points).X is ω-scattered iff X is scattered in the usual sense (i.e., eachnonempty subspace contains an isolated point).Vγ(X,x0) may not be determined when γ > ω.

  • Väänänen’s generalized Cantor-Bendixson theorem

    Theorem (Väänänen, 1991)

    The following Cantor-Bendixson theorem for κκ is consistent relative tothe existence of a measurable cardinal λ > κ:

    Every closed subset of κκ is the (disjoint) union of

    a κ-perfect set and a κ-scattered set, which is of size ≤ κ.

    Theorem (Galgon, 2016)

  • Väänänen’s generalized Cantor-Bendixson theorem

    Proposition (Sz)

    Väänänen’s generalized Cantor-Bendixson theorem is equivalent to theκ-perfect set property for closed subsets of κκ (i.e, the statement thatevery closed subset of κκ of size > κ has a κ-perfect subset).

    Remark: The κ-PSP for closed subsets of κκ is equiconsistent with theexistence of an inaccessible cardinal λ > κ.

    Sketch of the proof.

    Let X be a closed subset of κκ. Its set of κ-condensation points is defined to be

    CPκ(X) = {x ∈ X : |X ∩Nx�α| > κ for all α < κ}.

    If the κ-PSP holds for closed subsets of κκ, then CPκ(X) is a κ-perfect set andX − CPκ(X) is a κ-scattered set of size ≤ κ.

    R is a collection of finitary relations on a set X.Y ⊆ X is R-homogeneous if for all 1 ≤ k < ω and k-ary R ∈ R we have:

    (x1, . . . , xk) ∈ R for all pairwise distinct x1, . . . , xk ∈ Y .

    Theorem (Kubiś, 2003; Doležal, Kubiś 2015)

    Let R be a countable set of Gδ relations on a Polish space X(i.e., every R ∈ R is an Gδ subset of kX for some 1 ≤ k < ω).

    1 Either there exists a perfect R-homogeneous set, or there exists α < ω1such that every R-homogeneous set Y has Cantor-Bendixson rank < α(i.e., Y (α) = ∅).

    2 If there exists an uncountable R-homogeneous set, then there exists aperfect R-homogeneous set. This also holds for analytic spaces X.

    Recall that Y (α) = Y ∩KerBα(Y ) = Y − ScBα(Y ).

  • A dichotomy for infinitely many Π02(κ) relationsR is a Π02(κ) relation on a topological space X iff

    R is an intersection of ≤ κ many open subsets of kX for some 1 ≤ k < ω.

    Theorem (Sz)

    Assume ♦κ or κ is inaccessible.Let R be a collection of ≤ κ many Π02(κ) relations on a closed subset X of κκ.Then either

    X has a κ-perfect R-homogeneous subset, or

    there exists a tree T without κ-branches, |T | ≤ 2κ, such that for allR-homogeneous Y ⊆ X, we have Y ∩KerT (Y ) = ∅(that is, player II does not win VT (Y, y) for any y ∈ Y ).

    If κ is inaccessible, then there exists a tree T of size κ witnessing this.

    Sketch of the proof

    First, show that if X has a κ-dense in itself R-homogeneous subset, then X has aκ-perfect R-homogeneous subset.

  • A corollary

    Corollary

    If λ > κ is weakly compact, and G is Col(κ, κ, then X has a κ-perfectR-homogeneous subset. (2)

    This was known for measurable λ > κ (Sz, Väänänen).

    Question

    What is the consistency strength of (2)?
