Abstract
AbstractWe establish some results on the Borel and difference hierarchies inφ‐spaces. Such spaces are the topological counterpart of the algebraic directed‐complete partial orderings. E.g., we prove analogs of the Hausdorff Theorem relating the difference and Borel hierarchies and of the Lavrentyev Theorem on the non‐collapse of the difference hierarchy. Some of our results generalize results of A. Tang for the spacePω. We also sketch some older applications of these hierarchies and present a new application to the question of characterizing theω‐ary Boolean operations generating a given level of the Wadge hierarchy from the open sets.
