Abstract
The concept of a tree is a basic combinatorial tool in descriptive set theory. What is referred to as a tree in this subject is not, however, the same notion as the one used either in graph theory or combinatorial set theory, although it is closely related. On the rare occasion that we will use the graph theoretic notion, we will refer to it as a “graph theoretic tree”.
