Projection of Borel set from $R^2$ to $R^1$

This was a famous mistake made by Lebesgue (see also Gerald Edgar's answer to this MO question). Suslin showed that a plane Borel set exists whose projection is not a Borel set. See the references to …

Is Conway's base-13 function measurable?

It seems that the definition of the function doesn't use the axiom of choice. This implies that the support set should be Lebesgue measurable.

Regular borel measures on metric spaces

Let X be a metric space. Then every Borel measure μ on X is regular (i.e. for every Borel set B and every ε > 0, there exists a closed set $F_ε$ such that $F_ε ⊂ B$ and μ(B\ $F_ε$) < ε). If X is comp …

A question about the Kakeya problem

A Kakeya needle set cannot be of measure zero (a line segment cannot be rotated continuously within a set of measure 0). See the blog post by Terry Tao. However, there are sets of measure zero withi …

Borel set plus a closed set = Borel

No. Erdös and Stone showed that the sum of two subsets $E$, $F\subset\mathbb R$ may not be Borel even if one of them is compact and the other is $G_\delta$ (see "On the Sum of Two Borel Sets", Proc. A …

A set that can be covered by arbitrarily small intervals

The problem was also studied by Besicovitch from the geometric measure-theoretic point of view in the 1930s. In particular, Besicovitch was motivated by the problem of determining the sets of reals on …
