Isomorphism of almost locally compact Polish metric structures

arXiv:2508.07765

Abstract

A topological space is almost locally compact if it contains a dense locally compact subspace. We generalize a result from \cite{Ma}, showing that isomorphism on Borel classes of almost locally compact Polish metric structures is always classifiable by countable structures. This allows to remove a gap in the proof presented in \cite{Ma} of a positive answer to a question of Gao and Kechris, who asked whether isometry of locally compact Polish metric spaces is classifiable by countable structures.
