Abstract

We show that any symmetric, Baire measurable function from the complement of E0 to a finite set is constant on an E0-nonsmooth square. A simultaneous generalization of Galvin's theorem that Baire measurable colorings admit perfect homogeneous sets and the Kanovei-Zapletal theorem canonizing Borel equivalence relations on E0-nonsmooth sets, this result is proved by relating E0-nonsmooth sets to embeddings of the complete binary tree into itself and appealing to a version of Hindman's theorem on the complete binary tree. We also establish several canonization theorems which follow from the main result.
