    Borel Determinacy Theorem

    Definition

    Let T be a tree defined on a metric over a set of paths such that the distance between paths p and q is 1/n, where n is the number of nodes shared by p and q. Let A be a Borel set of paths in the topology induced by this metric. Suppose two players play a game by choosing a path down the tree, so that they alternate and each time choose an immediate successor of the previously chosen point. The first player wins if the chosen path is in A. Then one of the players has a winning strategy in this game.
