Finite-level decomposability conjecture for Borel functions

Let m,nωm,n\in\omega. For a class of Borel functions, decn+1F\mathbf{dec}_{n+1}\mathcal{F} denotes functions decomposable into countably many F\mathcal{F}-functions with Δn+10\mathbf{\Delta}^0_{n+1} domains. For separable metric spaces with analytic domain, let Σm+1,n+1\mathbf{\Sigma}_{m+1,n+1} denote the corresponding class of Borel functions and let Σ1,nm+1\mathbf{\Sigma}_{1,n-m+1} denote the class of Σnm+10\mathbf{\Sigma}^0_{n-m+1}-measurable functions. Finite-level decomposability conjecture. On separable metric spaces with analytic domain, Σm+1,n+1=decn+1Σ1,nm+1\mathbf{\Sigma}_{m+1,n+1}=\mathbf{dec}_{n+1}\mathbf{\Sigma}_{1,n-m+1} holds; equivalently, the Σm+1,n+1\mathbf{\Sigma}_{m+1,n+1} functions are precisely the Δn+10\mathbf{\Delta}^0_{n+1}-piecewise Σnm+10\mathbf{\Sigma}^0_{n-m+1}-measurable functions at all finite levels m,nωm,n\in\omega. This proposed identity generalizes the Jayne–Rogers and Semmes decompositions at finite Borel levels. The surrounding discussion cites prior work establishing low-level cases and dichotomies, while the all-finite-level assertion is presented as an expectation rather than as a theorem.
