Is the set of real-valued lower semi-continuous functions measurable in epigraph topology (= topology of Gamma convergence)?

Let LSC = LSC([0,1]) be the set of non-negative, lower semi-continuous functions on the unit interval which take values in $\mathbb{R}_+ \cup \{\infty\}$. We use epigraph topology …

Sets with equal positive measure in every interval

Hi, I want to write a proof that relies on the fact that: There are Borel Sets $A$ and $B$ contained in $\mathbb{R}$ such that $A \cap B = \emptyset$ and $\lambda(A \cap (x,y)) …

Any subset of Baire space is a union of a boldface $\Delta_2^0$ set and a set with no isolated points. Anybody know how to prove this?

I'm trying to do due diligence and determine whether this is known, trivial, original, etc. I have a proof of: Theorem: If $S\subseteq \mathbb{N}^{\mathbb{N}}$ then $S=X\cup Y$ f …
