Dec 6, 2021 at 2:35 comment added Bjørn Kjos-Hanssen Comeager = residual (which would then be a very evocative name here)
Dec 6, 2021 at 0:12 comment added Bjørn Kjos-Hanssen @KConrad perhaps my definition is equivalent to "comeager under the profinite topology".
Dec 5, 2021 at 23:49 comment added Bjørn Kjos-Hanssen @KConrad thanks for the comment. $m$ is such that $[b]_m\subseteq [a]_n$ which implies that $n$ divides $m$, I guess.
Dec 5, 2021 at 22:47 comment added KConrad You don't say what $m$ is. If you would replace whole residue classes $[b]_m$ in your definition by individual integers $b$ in $[a]_n \cap D$ then $D$ would be a dense subset of $\mathbf Z$ for the profinite topology.
