A point $\\eta \\in X$ is an $\\mathcal{I}$-limit point of a sequence $(x_n)$ taking values in $X$ if there exists a subsequence $(x_{k_n})$ convergent to $\\eta$ such that the set of indexes $\\{k_n: n \\in \\omega\\}\\notin \\mathcal{I}$. Denote by $\\mathscr{L}(\\mathcal{I})$ the family of subsets $S\\subseteq X$ such that $S$ is the set of $\\mathcal{I}$-limit points of some sequence taking values in $X$ or $S$ is empty. In this paper, we study the relationships between the topological complexity of ideals $\\mathcal{I}$, their combinatorial properties, and the families of sets $\\mathscr{L}(\\mathcal{I})$ which can be attained. On the positive side, we provide several purely combinatorial (not dependind on the space $X$) characterizations of ideals $\\mathcal{I}$ for the inclusions and the equalities between $\\mathscr{L}(\\mathcal{I})$ and the Borel classes $\\Pi^0_1$, $\\Sigma^0_2$, and $\\Pi^0_3$. As a consequence, we prove that if $\\mathcal{I}$ is a $\\Pi^0_4$ ideal then exactly one of the following cases holds: $\\mathscr{L}(\\mathcal{I})=\\Pi^0_1$ or $\\mathscr{L}(\\mathcal{I})=\\Sigma^0_2$ or $\\mathscr{L}(\\mathcal{I})=\\Sigma^1_1$ (however we do not have an example of a $\\Pi^0_4$ ideal with $\\mathscr{L}(\\mathcal{I})=\\Sigma^1_1$). In addition, we provide an explicit example of a coanalytic ideal $\\mathcal{I}$ for which $\\mathscr{L}(\\mathcal{I})=\\Sigma^1_1$. On the negative side, we show that there are no ideals $\\mathcal{I}$ such that $\\mathscr{L}(\\mathcal{I})=\\Pi^0_2$ or $\\mathscr{L}(\\mathcal{I})=\\Sigma^0_3$. We conclude with several open questions.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2024-11-16T19:22:27.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "28A05", "54A20", "03E15", "03E75", "40A05", "40A35" ], "keywords": [ "ideal limit points", "borel complexity", "combinatorial properties", "open questions", "explicit example" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
