We consider equivalence relations with $I$ - small equivalence classes, where $I$ is a proper $\\sigma$ - ideal, and ask whether they have a perfect set of pairwise inequivalent elements. We give a positive answer for $E$ universally Baire. We show that the answer for $E$ $\\mathbf{\\Delta_{2}^{1}}$ is independent of $ZFC$, and find set theoretic assumptions equivalent to it when $I$ is the countable ideal. For equivalence relations which are $\\mathbf{\\Sigma^1_2}$ and with meager classes, we show that a perfect set of pairwise inequivalent elements exists whenever a Cohen real over $L[z]$ exists for any real $z$ - which strengthens Mycielski's theorem. A few comments are made about $\\sigma$ - ideals generated by $\\Pi_{1}^{1}$ and orbit equivalence relations.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2016-01-05T23:00:14.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "perfect set theorems", "small classes", "pairwise inequivalent elements", "set theoretic assumptions equivalent", "strengthens mycielskis theorem" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2016arXiv160101012D" } } }
