Abstract: An infinite binaryword can be identified with a branch in the full binary tree. We consider sets of branches definable in monadic second-order logic over the tree, where we allow some extra monadic predicates on the nodes. We show that this class equals to the Boolean combinations of sets in the Borel class Σ^0_2 over the Cantor discontinuum. Note that the last coincides with the Borel complexity of ω-regular languages.
Keywords: Monadic 2nd-order logic, infinite words, trees, Borel hierarchy, automata
