Are “most” bounded derivatives not Riemann integrable?

Given $a,b\in\mathbb R$ with $a<b$. Let $$X=\{f\in C([a,b]): f \text{ is differentiable on } [a,b] \text{ with }f' \text{ bounded }\},$$ and $$A=\{f\in X: f' \text{ is Riemann integrable}\}. $$ It ...

Are there hereditarily square-boxed plane continua?

A plane continuum is a bounded, closed and connected subset of the plane. A bounding box $B$ for a plane continuum $C$ is a rectangle $B=[a,b]\times[c,d]$ (including sides and interior) such that $C$ ...

Properties of the topology of sequential convergence $\tau_\text{seq}$

Let $(X,\tau)$ be a Hausdorff space. Denote by $\tau_\text{seq}$ the topology on $X$ whose closed sets are the sequentially $\tau$-closed subsets of $X$. I have read that $\tau_\text{seq}$ has the ...

Have we discovered constructions for natural fractional dimensional spheres?

I have been thinking about a couple different problems in fractal geometry (including I one deleted because it was ill posed) and realize they all depend in a fundamental way on the problem of: Can we ...

Zeroth homology of the complement of a closed set

Suppose $F$ is a closed set in $\mathbb{R}^n$ with $n>1$. Are there some known conditions that must be imposed on $F$ so that its complement in $\mathbb{R}^n$ has a finite number of components? ...

If $S\subset\mathbb R$ is a $G_\delta$, is there a function $\mathbb R\to\mathbb R$ continuous exactly on $S$?

Let $S\subset\mathbb R$ be a $G_\delta$ set. A variation on the construction of the Thomae function (which is discontinuous on the rationals and continuous elsewhere) shows that there is a function $\...

Reference request: A collection of topologies on $\mathbb{N}$ formed via series

First, some quick notation: for any series $\sum_{n=1}^\infty a_n$ whose terms are positive real numbers, and for any subset $M = \{m_1, m_2,...\} \subseteq \mathbb{N}$, we write $\sum_M a_n$ to mean ...

Can two-point sets be Borel?

Recall that a two-point set is a subset of the plane which meets every line in exactly two points. Such a set was first constructed by Mazurkiewicz in 1914. I wonder if the following question of ...

extension of function in an abstract metric space

my question is the following.(Maybe my title is not quite proper for this question): Let $(E,d)$ be a Polish space (or a separable metric space), let $\xi: E\to R_+$ be a Lipschitz function. Now set $...
