Abstract:
It is shown that for every Polish group that is not locally compact there is a continuous action of on a -complete subset of a Polish space such that cannot be extended to any superset of in . This answers a question posed by Becker and Kechris and shows that an earlier theorem of them is optimal in several aspects.
