Abstract:
Using a technique developed by Louveau and Saint Raymond, we find the complexity of the space of probability measures in the Borel hierarchy: if is any non-Polish Borel subspace of a Polish space, then , the space of probability Borel measures on with the weak topology, is always true , where is the least ordinal such that is .
