A meager subgroup of the real line, which cannot be covered by countably many closed subsets of measure zero?

Is there a ZFC-example of a subgroup $H$ of the real line $\mathbb R$ such $H$ is meager, has zero Lebesgue measure, but cannot be covered by countably many closed subsets of measure zero in $\mathbb ...

Two questions about universally measurable sets

I have two questions about universally measurable sets: (1) Is there a universally measurable set of reals which does not have the Baire property? (2) Is there a universally measurable set of reals ...

The Fubini property of the $\sigma$-ideal generated by closed subsets of measure zero

Question. Can a Borel subset $B\subset\mathbb R\times \mathbb R$ be covered by countably many closed sets of measure zero in the plane if for every $(a,b)\in\mathbb R\times\mathbb R$ the horisontal ...

Polish transversals

A subset of $X$ an indecomposable continuum $Y$ is called a composant transversal if $X$ has exactly one point from each composant of $Y$. So a continuum has a composant transversal precisely when ...

Partitioning $\mathbb{R}^n$ into closed sets

Let $n$ be a positive integer. It is well-known that $\mathbb{R}^n$ cannot be non-trivially partitioned into open sets, since it is connected. Let $\frak P$ be a partition of $\mathbb{R}^n$ into ...

Disjoint covering number of an ideal

Let $\mathcal I$ be a $\sigma$-ideal with Borel base on an uncountable Polish space $X=\bigcup\mathcal I$. Let $\mathrm{cov}(\mathcal I)$ (resp. $\mathrm{cov}_\sqcup(\mathcal I)$) be the smallest ...

Completely I-non-measurable unions in Polish spaces

Problem. Let $X$ be a Polish space, $\mathcal I$ be a $\sigma$-ideal with Borel base, and $\mathcal A\subset\mathcal I$ be a point-finite cover of $X$. Is it true that $\mathcal A$ conatins a ...

A point concerning Fremlin's example on Borel sets in non-separable Banach spaces

Let $E$ be a Banach space. Let us consider the following three sigma algebras on $E$. $~~~~\mathcal{B}$= The $\sigma$-algebra coming from the norm topology. $~~\mathcal{M}$= The sigma algebra ...

A kind of 0-1 law?

Suppose that P is a Borel subset of Baire $\times$ Baire, such that for every pair $x,x'$ of reals in the horizontal copy of Baire, if: $x,x'$ are $E_0$-equivalent (that is, $x(n)=y(n)$ for all but ...

3 questions around the Stone space of the free $\sigma$-algebra on $\omega_1$ free generators

During my studies, I came across several different Stone spaces, e.g.: (i) The Cantor cube $X=\{0,1\}^{\omega_1}$, which is the Stone space of the free Boolean algebra on $\omega_1$ free generators; ...

$f:Y\to X$ continuous with $f^{-1}(x)$ compact for $x\in X$, does there exist a Borel measurable map $g:X\to Y$?

Let $X,Y$ be Polish, metric spaces. $f:Y\to X$ is a continuous, surjective map and for any $x\in X$, $f^{-1}(x)\subset Y$ is compact. Is it true that there is a injective, Borel measurable map $g:X \...

Comparing two $\sigma$-algebras

Let $X$ be a set. We denote $P(X)$ by the family of all subsets of $X$. We also denote $P(X)\otimes_{\sigma}P(X)$ by the $\sigma$-algebra generated by $\{A\times B: A,B \subseteq X\}$. Q. For which ...
