Abstract
We determine the exact complexity of classifying compact metric spaces up to homeomorphism. More precisely, the homeomorphism relation on compact metric spaces is Borel bi-reducible with the complete orbit equivalence relation of Polish group actions. Consequently, the same holds for the isomorphism relation between separable commutative C*-algebras and the isometry relation between C(K)-spaces.
