Decomposing functions of Baire class \(2\) on Polish spaces. (English) Zbl 1485.03196

Summary: We prove the Decomposability Conjecture for functions of Baire class \(2\) from a Polish space to a separable metrizable space. This partially answers an important open problem in descriptive set theory.
