Suppose that $\mu$ and $\nu$ are sigma-finite measures on the Borel sigma-algebra over $\mathbb R$ such that $\int_{\mathbb R}f\,d\mu=\int_{\mathbb R}f\,d\nu$ for all nonnegative continuous functions …

The following question was asked very recently at Relative volume increase of δ-fattening of a compact set: Is the following inequality true for all non-empty, compact sets $A \subseteq \mathbb{R}^n$ …

$\newcommand\B{\mathscr B}\newcommand\A{\mathscr A}\newcommand\si{\sigma}$Let $I:=[0,1]$, and let $\B$ and $\B^2$ denote the Borel $\si$-algebras over $I$ and $I^2$, respectively. Let $\A$ stand for t …

$\newcommand\R{\mathbb R}\newcommand\S{\mathbb S}$ Question 1: Let $S$ be a nonempty measurable subset of $\R^n$. Let $B$ be a closed ball in $\R^n$ such that $m(B)=m(S)$, where $m$ is the Lebesgue m …

$\newcommand\R{\Bbb R}$Assuming the axiom of choice, is there an uncountable Lebesgue-measurable subset $S$ of $\R$ that contains no nonempty perfect set? Of course, such a set $S$, if it exists, mu …

The question about throwing darts asked on the MathOverflow page Sacred Geometry of Chance was not well received, apparently because of "[t]oo much noise around the actual math", as stated in a well-r …

$\newcommand{\R}{\mathbb R}$Let $M$ denote the set of all finite signed measures on a separable Banach space $B$. For any $\mu\in M$, let \begin{equation*} \exp^*(\mu):=\sum_{k=0}^\infty\frac{\mu^ …
