Definition of "interval of continuity" for function defined on sets

At the beginning of Chapter 8 of Kubilius's Probabilistic Methods in the Theory of Numbers, the author defines $Q=Q(E)$ to be a completely additive nonnegative function defined for all Borel subsets $...

Borel structure/sets coming from strong operator topology vs norm topology

Let $X, Y$ be Banach spaces. Moreover, let $\mathcal{L}(X,Y)$ be the space of bounded linear operators equipped with the standard operator norm topology, and $\mathcal{L}_{\mathrm{s}}(X,Y)$ the same ...

Every Borel linearly independent set has Borel linear hull (reference?)

I am looking for a reference to the following fact, which probably is known and could be proved somewhere by someone. Theorem. The linear hull of any linearly independent Borel set in a Polish ...

Separating two sets by a $\boldsymbol{\Delta}_3^0$ set

Let $X$ be a Polish space and $A,B\subseteq X$ be such that $A\cap B = \emptyset$, we know that if there is no $\boldsymbol{\Delta}_2^0$ set separating $A$ from $B$ then there exists a Cantor set $C\...

A strong Borel selection theorem for equivalence relations

In Kechris' book "Classical Descriptive Set Theory" there is the following theorem (12.16): Let $X$ be a Polish space and $E$ an equivalence relation such that every equivalence class is ...

Topological complexity of ultrafilters in $2^\kappa$ for uncountable $\kappa$

It is a well known fact that if $\mathcal{F}$ is a non-principal ultrafilter on $\omega$, then the set $\{ \alpha \in 2^\omega : \alpha \in \mathcal{F}\}$ (conflating binary strings with subsets of $\...

A rather non-$F_\sigma$ Borel set

I asked this question at MSE a week ago, but received no answer, so I cross-post it here. I obtained a negative answer to this MSE question provided each metric space $X$ such that $|X|=\frak c$ and ...

Sierpinski's characterization of $F_{\sigma\delta}$ spaces

According to [2]: Let $X$ be a space. We call a system $(X_s)_{s\in T}$ a Sierpinski stratification of $X$ if $T$ is a nonempty tree over a countable alphabet and $X_s$ is a closed subset of $X$ for ...

Topology on the space of Borel measures

Let $ B $ be the set of all measures $ \phi $ of $ \mathbf{R}^{n} $ such that every open set is $ \phi $-measurable (sometimes these measures are called Borel measures). Note the measures in $ B $ are ...

A question about Borel sets on the unit interval

It is known that each non-decreasing continuous function $\phi$ induces a $\sigma$-additive measure $d\phi$ such that $\int_0^1 f(x) d\phi(x)$ exists for every bounded real-valued Baire function $f$. ...

Borel subsets of Polish groups

Suppose that I have a polish group $G$ and two subsets $A$ and $B$ of $G$ such that: $A$ is open in $G$ and $B$ is closed in $G,$ from this, can I conclude that $AB$ is a Borel subset of $G$? if not, ...

When do Borel $\sigma$-algebras generated by the total variation norm and the weak* topology coincide?

I am almost certain that I read somewhere that the following is true, but I cannot seem to locate the reference. I would be most appreciative if someone could point me to a reference. The result was ...

Reference to definition of matrix log with domain SO(3) which is Borel measurable

I was trying to set up an inverse to matrix exponential $\exp:\mathrm{Skew}(3\times 3)\to SO(3)$ that "covers" the biggest possible domain and is Borel measurable. I was wondering if there is a ...
