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 ...

example of an n-transitive but not infinitely transitive group action on a space
Definition. An action of a group $G$ on a set $X$ is strongly $n$-transitive if $G$ acts transitively on $n$-tuples of distinct elements in $X$ (via the diagonal action), and is $n$-transitive if $G$ ...

Centralizer of a dense subgroup in a maximal subgroup of a reductive group
I am looking for a reference to the following statement
"Let $G$ be a reductive algebraic group and $K$ a maximal compact subgroup of $G$. If $H$ is a dense subgroup in $K$, then the centralizer of $H$...
