Abstract

We consider a large family of theories of equivalence relations, each with finitely many classes, and assuming the existence of an ω-Erdos cardinal, we determine which of these theories are Borel complete. We develop machinery, including \em forbidding nested sequences which implies a tight upper bound on Borel complexity, and \em admitting cross-cutting absolutely indiscernible sets which in our context implies Borel completeness. In the Appendix we classify the reducts of theories of refining equivalence relations, possibly with infinite splitting.
