Abstract

Let $\bf \Gamma$ be a Borel class, or a Wadge class of Borel sets, and $2\!\leq \! d\!\leq \!\omega$ be a cardinal. A Borel subset $B$ of ${\mathbb R}^d$ is $potentially$ $in$ $\bf \Gamma$ if there is a finer Polish topology on $\mathbb R$ such that $B$ is in $\bf \Gamma$ when ${\mathbb R}^d$ is equipped with the new product topology. We give a way to recognize the sets potentially in $\bf \Gamma$. We apply this to the classes of graphs (oriented or not), quasi-orders and partial orders.
