Abstract:
Let and be uncountable Polish spaces. represents a family of sets provided each set in occurs as an -section of . We say that uniquely represents provided each set in occurs exactly once as an -section of . is universal for if every -section of is in . is uniquely universal for if it is universal and uniquely represents . We show that there is a Borel set in which uniquely represents the translates of if and only if there is a Vitali set. Assuming there is a Borel set with all sections sets and all non-empty sets are uniquely represented by . Assuming there is a Borel set with all sections which uniquely represents the countable subsets of . There is an analytic set in with all sections which represents all the subsets of , but no Borel set can uniquely represent the sets. This last theorem is generalized to higher Borel classes.
