Boolean algebra of ambiguous Borel class
Suppose $X$, $Y$ are uncountable compact metric spaces and $\Delta^0_\xi(X)$, $\Delta^0_\xi(Y)$ ($2\le\xi\le\omega_1$) are the Boolean algebras of Borel sets of ambiguous class $\xi$. So for $\xi=2$ ...

Is every element of $\omega_1$ the rank of some Borel set?
It is well known that we can obtain the $\sigma$-algebra of Borel subsets of $2^{\omega}$ in the following way: Let $B_0$ be the collection of all open subsets of $2^{\omega}$. For $\alpha=\beta+1$, ...

Computing the infinite dimensional Lebesgue measure of "cubes"
There is no Lebesgue measure in infinite dimensions—this slogan is familiar to every student interested in analysis. One possible, precise statement of this result may be as follows: if $X$ is an ...

Borel measurability
Suppose we have two locally compact Hausdorff spaces $X$ and $Y$. Let $i:X\to Y$ be a continuous injection. Under what condition the Borel $\sigma$-algebra of $X$ and $i(X)$ are isomorphic via the map ...

The space of Borel function modulo comeager sets is Dedekind complete
Let $(X,\tau)$ be a topological space. Denote by $Bor(X)$ the space of Borel functions $f:X\to\mathbb{R}$ where we identify two functions whenever they agree on the complement of a meager set. We ...

Topology on the space of Borel measures
Let $ B $ be the set of all measures $ \phi $ of $ \mathbf{R}^{n} $ such that every open set is $ \phi $-measurable (sometimes these measures are called Borel measures). Note the measures in $ B $ are ...

Can a continuous surjection from a Hilbert cube to a segment behave bad wrt Lebesgue measures?
Suppose $\hat{I}=[0,1]^\mathbb{N}$ is a Hilbert cube and $I=[0,1]$.
Consider Lebesgue measures $m_1$ and $m_2$ on $\hat{I}$ and $I$ correspondingly. By Lebesgue measure on the Hilbert cube I mean the ...

Is the set of real-valued lower semi-continuous functions measurable in epigraph topology (= topology of Gamma convergence)?
Let LSC = LSC([0,1]) be the set of non-negative, lower semi-continuous functions on the unit interval which take values in $\mathbb{R}_+ \cup \{\infty\}$. We use epigraph topology on LSC, i.e. a ...
