Invariant universality for projective planes

Abstract

We continue the work of [1, 2, 3] by analyzing the equivalence relation of bi-embeddability on various classes of countable planes, most notably the class of countable non-Desarguesian projective planes. We use constructions of the second author to show that these equivalence relations are invariantly universal, in the sense of [3], and thus in particular complete analytic. We also introduce a new kind of Borel reducibility relation for standard Borel G-spaces, which requires the preservation of stabilizers, and explain its connection with the notion of full embeddings commonly considered in category theory.
