Abstract

We start by giving a survey to the theory of \({\text {Borel}}^{*}(\kappa )\) sets in the generalized Baire space \({\text {Baire}}(\kappa )=\kappa ^{\kappa }\). In particular we look at the relation of this complexity class to other complexity classes which we denote by \({\text {Borel}}(\kappa )\), \({\Delta _1^1}(\kappa )\) and \({\Sigma _1^1}(\kappa )\) and the connections between \({\text {Borel}}^*(\kappa )\) sets and the infinitely deep language \(M_{\kappa ^+\kappa }\). In the end of the paper we will prove the consistency of \({\text {Borel}}^{*}(\kappa )\ne \Sigma ^{1}_{1}(\kappa )\).
