The complexity of some ordinal determined classes of operators

Abstract

We compute the complexity of the classes of operators $\mathfrak{G}_{\xi, \zeta}\cap \mathcal{L}$ and $\mathfrak{M}_{\xi, \zeta}\cap \mathcal{L}$ in the coding of operators between separable Banach spaces. We also prove the non-existence of universal factoring operators for both $\complement \mathfrak{G}_{\xi, \zeta}$ and $\complement \mathfrak{M}_{\xi, \zeta}$. The latter result is an ordinal extension of a result of Johnson and Girardi.
