Abstract

We compute the levels of complexity in analytical and arithmetical hierarchies for the sets of the Σ-formulas defining in the hereditarily finite superstructure over the ordered field of the reals the classes of open, closed, clopen, nowhere dense, dense subsets of ℝn, first category subsets in ℝn as well as the sets of pairs of Σ-formulas corresponding to the relations of set equality and inclusion which are defined by them. It is also shown that the complexity of the set of the Σ-formulas defining connected sets is at least Π 11 .
