# nLab Baire space of sequences

Contents

This entry is about the Baire space of sequences of natural numbers. For another concept of the same name in topology proper, see at Baire space.

### Context

#### Constructivism, Realizability, Computability

intuitionistic mathematics

## Idea

In the study of computability, descriptive set theory, etc, by Baire space is meant the topological space $\mathbb{N}^{\mathbb{N}}$ of infinite sequences of natural numbers equipped with the product topology.

The continuous functions from Baire space to itself serve the role of computable functions in computable analysis. See at computable function (analysis).
