Equip \( G/H \) with the largest \( \sigma \) -algebra making \( q \) Borel measurable. By our hypothesis, \( X \) is a countably generated measurable space with singletons as atoms.

Lemma 5.11.5 Let \( X \) be Polish and \( \mathcal{C} \) a countably generated sub \( \sigma \) -algebra of \( {\mathcal{B}}_{X} \) .

Theorem 5.12.1 (Arsenin, Kunugui [60]) Let \( B \subseteq X \times Y \) be a Borel set, \( X, Y \) Polish, such that \( {B}_{x} \) is \( \sigma \) -compact for every \( x \) . Then \( {\pi }_{X}\left( B\right) \) is Borel, and \( B \) admits a Borel uniformization.
Proof of 5.12.1. Write \( B = \mathop{\bigcup }\limits_{n}{B}_{n} \), the \( {B}_{n} \) ’s Borel with compact sections. That this can be done follows from 5.12.3. Then\n\n\[{\pi }_{X}\left( B\right) = \mathop{\bigcup }\limits_{n}{\pi }_{X}\left( {B}_{n}\right)\]\n\nSince the projection of a Borel set with compact secti...

Theorem 5.12.3 Let \( X, Y \) be Polish spaces and \( A \subseteq X \times Y \) a Borel set with sections \( {A}_{x} \) \(\sigma\) -compact. Then \( A = \mathop{\bigcup }\limits_{n}{B}_{n} \), where each \( {B}_{n} \) is Borel with \( {\left( {B}_{n}\right) }_{x} \) compact for all \( x \) and all \( n \) .
Proof. The result trivially follows from 5.12.2 by taking \( B = {A}^{c} \) .

Proof. Let \( Z \) be a compact metric space containing (a homeomorph of) \( Y \) . Then \( B \) is Borel in \( X \times Z \) with sections \( {G}_{\delta } \) sets (2.2.7). By 5.12.3, there exist Borel sets \( {C}_{n} \) in \( X \times Z \) with sections compact such that \( \left( {X \times Z}\right) \smallsetminus B...

Theorem 5.13.1 (Lopez-Escobar) A subset \( A \) of \( {X}_{L} \) is invariant (with respect to the logic action) and Borel, if and only if there is a sentence \( \sigma \) of \( {L}_{{\omega }_{1}\omega } \) such that \( A = {A}_{\sigma } \) .
Proof. The sufficient part of this result is proved by induction on formulae of \( {L}_{{\omega }_{1}\omega } \) as follows:\n\nFor every formula \( \phi \left\lbrack {{v}_{0},{v}_{1},\ldots ,{v}_{k - 1}}\right\rbrack \), the set\n\n\[ \n{A}_{\phi, k} = \left\{ {\left( {x,{n}_{0},{n}_{1},\ldots ,{n}_{k - 1}}\right) : {...

Corollary 5.14.5 Let \( X \) be a Polish space and \( A \subseteq X \) coanalytic. Then A admits a very good \( {\mathbf{\Pi }}_{1}^{1} \) -scale.
Proof. By 2.6.9 there is a closed set \( D \subseteq {\mathbb{N}}^{\mathbb{N}} \) and a continuous bijection \( f : D \rightarrow X \) . Now, \( {f}^{-1}\left( A\right) \cap D \) is a \( {\mathbf{\Pi }}_{1}^{1} \) subset of \( {\mathbb{N}}^{\mathbb{N}} \) and hence admits a very good \( {\mathbf{\Pi }}_{1}^{1} \) -scal...
