PlanetPhysics/Categories of Polish Groups and Polish Spaces
Introduction
Let us recall that a Polish space is a separable, completely metrizable [[../CoIntersections/|topological]] space, and that [[../InvariantBorelSet/|Polish groups]] are metrizable (topological) [[../TrivialGroupoid/|groups]] whose topology is Polish, and thus they admit a compatible [[../MetricTensor/|metric]] which is left-invariant; (a [[../TrivialGroupoid/|topological group]] is metrizable iff is Hausdorff, and the [[../Cod/|identity]] of has a countable neighborhood basis).
Polish spaces can be classified up to a (Borel) [[../IsomorphicObjectsUnderAnIsomorphism/|isomorphism]] according to the following provable results:
- All uncountable Polish spaces are Borel isomorphic to Failed to parse (syntax error): {\displaystyle \mathbb{R } equipped with the standard topology;} This also implies that all uncountable Polish space have the cardinality of the continuum.
- Two Polish spaces are Borel isomorphic if and only if they have the same cardinality.
Furthermore, the subcategory of Polish spaces that are Borel isomorphic is, in fact, a [[../BorelGroupoid/|Borel groupoid]].
Category of Polish groups
The \htmladdnormallink{category {http://planetphysics.us/encyclopedia/Cod.html} of Polish groups} has, as its [[../TrivialGroupoid/|objects]], all Polish groups and, as its [[../TrivialGroupoid/|morphisms]] the group [[../TrivialGroupoid/|homomorphisms]] between Polish groups, compatible with the [[../InvariantBorelSet/|Polish topology]] on .
is obviously a subcategory of the category of [[../PolishGroup/|topological groups]]; moreover, is a subcategory of Failed to parse (unknown function "\grp"): {\displaystyle \mathcal{T}_{\grp}} -the category of [[../GroupoidHomomorphism2/|topological groupoids]] and topological groupoid homomorphisms.
