Abstract:
The Wadge reducibility in the Baire and Cantor spaces is very important in descriptive set theory. We consider the Wadge reducibility in some other topological spaces, in particular, in the $\varphi$-spaces which are topological counterparts of the algebraic directed-complete partial orderings. It turns out that the Wadge reducibility behaves worse in most spaces than in the classical case but there exist interesting examples of spaces with a better behavior as well.
