Consider a compact subset $K$ of $R^n$ which is the closure of its interior. Does its boundary $\partial K$ have zero Lebesgue measure ? I guess it's wrong, because the topological assumption is invariant w.r.t homeomorphism, in contrast to being of zero Lebesgue measure. But I don't see any simple counterexample. |

Construct a Cantor set of positive measure in much the same way as you make the `standard' Cantor set but make sure the lengths of the deleted intervals add up to 1/2, say. Let $U$ be the union of the intervals that are deleted at the even-numbered steps and let $V$ be the union of the intervals deleted at the odd-numbered steps. The Cantor set is the common boundary of $U$ and $V$; their closures are as required. |

Let $D_0,D_1,\ldots$ enumerate a sequence of disjoint intervals in the unit interval with $\bigcup_n D_n$ open dense and having measure less than $1$. For example, place a very tiny interval around each rational number, so that the sum of the intervals is less than $1$. Now, let $E=\bigcup_n D_{2n}$ be the union of the even intervals and $O=\bigcup_n D_{2n+1}$, the union of the odd intervals. The entire interval is the union of $E$, $O$ and their boundaries, so one of these boundaries must have positive measure. So we may take $K$ to be the closure of $E$ or $O$. |
