Finite index extensions of treeable equivalence relations are treeable
Abstract
We prove that every countable Borel equivalence relation containing a finite index Borel treeable subequivalence relation is Borel treeable. This answers a long-standing question of Jackson--Kechris--Louveau. Our proof is based on a median subalgebra filtration construction on products of trees, together with an extension of the median graph treeing algorithm of Chen--Poulin--Tao--Tserunyan to certain well-behaved increasing unions.
