Abstract: We prove a separable reduction theorem for $\sigma$-porosity of Suslin sets. In particular, if $A$ is a Suslin subset in a Banach space $X$, then each separable subspace of $X$ can be enlarged to a separable subspace $V$ such that $A$ is $\sigma$-porous in $X$ if and only if $A\cap V$ is $\sigma$-porous in $V$. Such a result is proved for several types of $\sigma$-porosity. The proof is done using the method of elementary submodels, hence the results can be combined with other separable reduction theorems. As an application we extend a theorem of L. Zajíček on differentiability of Lipschitz functions on separable Asplund spaces to the nonseparable setting.
Keywords: elementary submodel, separable reduction, porous set, $\sigma$-porous set
