Descriptive set theory

In mathematical logic, descriptive set theory is the study of certain classes of subset of the real line and other Polish spaces satisfying some sort of definability criterion. As well as being one of the primary areas of research in set theory, it has applications to other areas of mathematics such as functional analysis, ergodic theory, the study of operator algebras and group actions, and mathematical logic.
