Let $G$ be a topological group. We define an equivalence relation on $G$ as follows: For $a,b\in G$ we set $a\sim b$ if the following two maps are topologically conjugate: $$x\mapsto ax,\qquad x\...

Let $G$ be a finite group. It has been shown that: If the probability that two randomly selected elements of $G$ generate an abelian group is greater than $5/8$, $G$ is abelian. If the probability ...

The most well-known construction of a non-measurable set is the Vitali set. The idea behind Vitali sets is to split up the space (such as $[0,1]$) into equal-sized copies (guaranteed by translation ...

Let $\mathrm{Homeo}(M)$ and $\mathrm{Borel}(M)$ be the groups of homeomorphic and Borel automorphisms of a space $M$, respectively. Question: Are $\mathrm{Homeo}(M)$ and $\mathrm{Borel}(M)$ ...

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 ...

Weil's construction of a Haar measure on a locally compact group rests on approximating a function from above by sums of translates of another function. I would need to know something similar for an ...
