The "strong" measure number
Beyond measure zero we have yet another measure-y notion of smallness: strong measure zero. A set $S\subseteq\mathbb{R}$ is strong measure zero if, for any $f:\mathbb{N}\rightarrow\mathbb{R}_{>0}$, ...

reverse mathematics of the Lebesgue measurability of analytic sets
Can the fact that all analytic sets are Lebesgue measurable be proven in $Z_2$, or in some weak subsystem such as $\Pi^1_1\text{-CA}_0$? Conversely, can certain set existence axioms be derived from ...

Is there a class of mathematical structures with non-isomorphic natural representations as a standard Borel space?
Background. The field of Borel equivalence relation theory
provides a robust, unifying theory that organizes most of the
classification problems of classical mathematics into a hierarchy,
allowing us ...

Two strengthenings of "strong measure zero"
A set $X\subseteq\mathbb{R}$ is strong measure zero if, for every sequence $(\epsilon_i)_{i\in\mathbb{N}}$ of positive reals, there is a sequence $(I_i)_{i\in\mathbb{N}}$ of open intervals covering $X$...
