We show that a Borel action of a Polish group on a standard Borel space is Borel isomorphic to a continuous action of the group on a Polish space, and we apply this result to three aspects of the theory of Borel actions of Polish groups: universal actions, invariant probability measures, and the Topological Vaught Conjecture. We establish the existence of universal actions for any given Polish ...

ing from the proof given above for Gaboriau-Popa we obtain theorems such as: Theorem 2.10 Let (X, d) be a complete, separable metric space equipped with an atomless Borel probability measure μ. Suppose Γ acts ergodically by measure preserving transformations on (X,μ) and the action on (X, d) is expansive. Let (Et)0<t<1 be a collection of distinct countable Borel equivalence relations on X with:...
