Polish Space and Borel Space Structure on the Structure Space #

This file proves that StructureSpace L is a Polish space, a Borel space, and a standard Borel space when the language has countably many relation symbols.

Strategy #

StructureSpace L = RelQuery L → Bool with the product topology. When RelQuery L is countable, Encodable.ofCountable provides an encoding, and Mathlib's instances for products of discrete spaces give:

Since StructureSpace L is a def (not abbrev), type class resolution cannot see through it. We provide the intermediate instances explicitly.

Main Results #

RelQuery L is encodable when the language has countably many relation symbols. This is the key ingredient for all topological instances.

Equations

The structure space is Polish: second-countable and completely metrizable. This follows from StructureSpace L = RelQuery L → Bool being a countable product of finite discrete spaces, hence compact and metrizable.

The product σ-algebra on the structure space equals the Borel σ-algebra.

The structure space is standard Borel (Polish + Borel).

The pair space StructureSpace L × StructureSpace L is Polish.
