Talk:Borel hierarchy

message: The plan is to expand this into a description of at least the boldface Borel hierarchy on a Polish space, including Sigma^0_a etc.  But there is some doubt about how to deal with the lightface Borel sets -- do they go here, or in arithmetical hierarchy or somewhere else?

thread_title:  Plans  

message: Is the definition 
:The rank of a Borel set is the least \alpha such that the set is in \mathbf{\Sigma}^0_\alpha.
really canonical?   Do we have a reference?  I could not find it in Kechris' book, nor in Moschovakis'. The definition 
:the least  \alpha such that the set is in \mathbf{\Sigma}^0_\alpha\cup \mathbf \Pi^0_\alpha 
seems equally plausible.   
I have seen the expression "Borel set of finite rank" used, but at the moment cannot recall a place where (if ever) I have seen "Borel set of rank alpha".

thread_title:  rank 

message: In the line 
* A set A is \mathbf{\Sigma}^0_\alpha for \alpha > 1 if and only if there is a sequence of sets A_1,A_2,\ldots such that each A_i  is \mathbf{\Pi}^0_{\alpha_i} for some \alpha_i < \alpha and  A = \bigcup A_i.
It is not evident from the definition that \alpha is well-defined (or even bounded).  A set A could be the union of several different sequences of A_i each producing a distinct \alpha.  
Perhaps 
* A set A is \mathbf{\Sigma}^0_\alpha for \alpha > 1 if and only if \alpha is the least integer such that there exists a sequence of sets A_1,A_2,\ldots where each A_i  is \mathbf{\Pi}^0_{\alpha_i} for some \alpha_i < \alpha and  A = \bigcup A_i.

replies: text: This is a feature rather than a bug. Every \Sigma^0_\alpha set is also \Sigma^0_\beta for every β > α. So rather than trying to divide up all the sets into disjoint pieces, we have a hierarchy of larger and larger classes of sets. — Carl (CBM · talk) 14:08, 19 November 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Ill-stated definition 

message: The section on the lightface hiearchy needs a definition of \Delta^0_\alpha, but unless I'm missing something, no definition is given.

message: The tetrakis hexahedron can be seen to contain 2 types of edges, the 12 edges of the cube, and 24 lateral edges connecting the cube to the apex of the augmented square pyramids on each face.
If its latereral edge lengths are a, and the cubic edges are length 1, its surface area is \scriptstyle\frac{16}{3}\sqrt{5}a^2 and its volume is \scriptstyle\frac{32}{9}a^3. 
In order for the tetrakis hexahedron to be convex, it must be the case that \scriptstyle a<\frac{\sqrt3}{2}; when \scriptstyle a=\frac{\sqrt3}{2}, pairs of triangular faces become coplanar and the polyhedron degenerates to a rhombic dodecahedron.

Why is the pogrom mentioned in the article at all if, apparently, per present text, it has nothing to do with Klimaitis and his unit which was not subordinate to LAF and PGoL and whose members, apparently did not participate in the apparent pogrom whose numbers of victims was apparently exaggerated?

message: The article states that Algirdas Klimaitis' group "was not subordinate to the Lithuanian Activist Front or the Provisional Government of Lithuania." This is substantiated by a reference to the (Lithuanian) history book by Arūnas Bubnys, Lithuanian Security Police and the Holocaust (1941–1944). However, as can be seen in the Wikipedia entry for the Kaunas pogrom, where the same claim is made about Klimaitis' group having nothing to do with LAF or the provisional government, no actual substantiation of that claim is provided - but simply the author's assertion.

message: Hello, Please do not add unreferenced names as entries to the list of former employees in articles. Including this type of material in articles does not abide by current consensus and its inclusion is strongly discouraged in our policies and guidelines. The rationales are as follows:
#WP:NOT tells us, Wikipedia is "not an indiscriminate collection of information."  As that section describes, just because something is true, doesn't necessarily mean the info belongs in Wikipedia.  
#As per WP:V, we cannot include information in Wikipedia that is not verifiable and sourced. 
# WP:Source list tells us that lists included within articles (including people's names) are subject to the same need for references as any other information in the article. 
#Per WP:BLP, we have to be especially careful about including un-sourced info about living persons.
If you look at articles about companies in general, you will not find mention of previous employees, except in those cases where the employee was particularly notable.  Even then, the information is not presented just as a list of names, but is incorporated into the text itself (for example, when a company's article talks about the policies a previous CEO had, or when they mention the discovery/invention of a former engineer/researcher). If a preexisting article is already in the encyclopedia for the person you want to add to a list, it's generally regarded as sufficient to support their inclusion in list material in another article. cheers Deconstructhis (talk) 21:36, 11 April 2011 (UTC)
