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 ...

Which results in probabilistic group theory generalize from finite groups to compact Hausdorff groups (and which don't)?
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 ...

What is the smallest $\sigma$-algebra of reals that is closed under addition of sets?
What is the smallest $\sigma$-algebra $\Sigma\subseteq\mathcal P(\Bbb R)$ containing the open sets and such that if $A,B\in\Sigma$, then $$A+B=\{a+b\mid a\in A,b\in B\}\in\Sigma?$$
I know that neither ...

Dependence on Urysohn's Lemma in Cartan's Construction of Haar Measure
This question was posted by someone else on stackexchange three months ago, but no one has answered as of yet:
Cartan's 1940 paper, Sur la mesure de Haar, claims to provide a proof of the existence ...

Approximating a measurable function from a second-countable, locally compact Hausdorff group to a separable Banach space
Let $ G $ be a second-countable, locally compact Hausdorff group and $ B $ a separable Banach space.
We say that a function $ f: G \to B $ is Bochner-measurable if and only if it is the everywhere ...

Invariant measure on coset space and integrable functions
Let $G$ be a locally compact abelian group, and $H$ a closed subgroup. Let $C_c(G)$ be the space of continuous, compactly supported complex valued functions on $G$. General theory of Haar measure ...

On generically Haar-null sets in the real line
First some definitions.
For a Polish space $X$ by $P(X)$ we denote the space of all $\sigma$-additive Borel probability measures on $X$. The space $P(X)$ carries a Polish topology generated by the ...

How wild is the maximal ideal space of the Fourier-Stieltjes algebra of the real line?
The Fourier-Stieltjes algebra of $\mathbb R$ is the set of all sufficiently nice measures on $\mathbb R$. The vector product is convolution of measures. By identifying each measure with its Fourier ...

Justification of the convolution operation of $L^1(G)$ functions where $G$ is a LCA group (measurability)
Suppose $G$ is a locally compact abelian Hausdorff group (LCA), and $\lambda$ is the Haar measure on it. We all know the convolution of two $L^1(\lambda)$ functions $f$ and $g$ on $G$ is defined as
$$...

How can the maximal ideal space of the Fourier Stieltjes algebra be non-separable?
I have been asking a fair few (probably elementary) questions about abstract harmonic analysis lately. By means of explanation, I am just feeling around the subject at the moment and trying to build ...

Generalized conjugacy classes in (topological) groups
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\...

How to define Lebesgue Integrability of functions assuming values in an arbitrary topological vector space over an arbitrary topological field?
I have already asked this question in this MSE thread, but some people suggested me to ask to the MO community also.
Preliminaries
An algebra of sets in a set $X$ is an $\mathcal{X}\subseteq\mathcal{P}...

Sum-sets of sets of positive measure in the Hilbert cube
Problem. Let $\lambda$ be the standard product measure on the Hilbert cube $[-\frac12,\frac12]^\omega$ and $A,B$ be two $\lambda$-positive Borel subsets of $[-\frac12,\frac12]^\omega$.
Is it true ...

Is this concrete set generically Haar-null?
This question is related to this problem on MO about generically Haar-null sets in locally compact Polish groups but is more concrete.
First we recall the definition of a generically Haar-null set in ...

Extrinsic applications of Haar measure
I am looking for examples of (not necessarily deep) results whose proofs rely on the Haar measure (or rather such that there exists an "elegant" proof involving it). Further, the formulation of such ...

exotic compact group
Let $G$ be compact (and Hausdorff) group, $\mu$ be Haar measure on $G$. Is it always true that $(G,\mu)$ is a standard probability space (Lebesgue-Rokhlin space)? It is so if (a priori not iff) the ...

The set of measurable functions together with convergence in measure is a completely metrizable abelian topological group
Below we use Bochner measurability and Bochner integral. Let
$(X, \mathcal A, \mu)$ be a complete $\sigma$-finite measure space,
$(E, | \cdot |)$ a Banach space,
$S (X)$ the space of $\mu$-simple ...
