The Descriptive Set Theory of Polish Group Actions

by Alexander S. Kechris and Howard S. Becker

A Polish space (group) is a separable, completely metrizable topological space (group). This book is about actions of Polish groups, in connection with--or from the point of view of--the subject of descriptive set theory.
