A topological characterisation of a.e. continuity
We say a measurable function $f: \mathbb R^n \to \mathbb R$ is essentially continuous if the inverse image of any open set $O$ differs from an open set by a set of null measure, in the sense that ...

Baire category theorem for uncountable unions
Any compact Hausdorff space $X$ is a Baire space:
if the set $X$ is a meager set (meaning a countable union of nowhere dense subsets,
also known as a set of first category),
then $X$ is empty.
I am ...

Several definitions of approximate continuity of real functions
I found the definition of approximate continuity stated as follows:
A function $f:\mathbb R \to \mathbb R$ is approximately continuous at $x_0$ iff there exists a set $A\in \mathcal L$ such that $x_0\...

Partitioning $\mathbb{R}^n$ into closed sets
Let $n$ be a positive integer. It is well-known that $\mathbb{R}^n$ cannot be non-trivially partitioned into open sets, since it is connected.
Let $\frak P$ be a partition of $\mathbb{R}^n$ into ...

Suppose we have a set $X$ with $X=U \cup V$. If we pick a permutation $f$ of $U$ and a permutation $g$ of $V$ which agree on the intersection $U \cap V$, we can coalesce them into one big endo-map $F$ ...
