Title: Benchmarking the Borel Complexity of Classical Problems
Abstract: Many problem in mathematics involve solutions that cannot be explicitly stated. \emph{Borel Reductions} are a method for聽comparing the inherent difficulty of apparently unrelated problems. This talk gives basic definitions and their motivation and illustrates with examples including recent theorems of Sabok and others.
