A question about pushforward measures and continuous Borel isomorphisms

This is a very good (and also well studied) question, especially for homeomorphisms of measures. For example, the Haar measures on the zero-dimensional compact groups $\mathbb Z_2^\omega$ and $\mathbb …

A question about pushforward measures and Peano spaces

In general the answer to this problem is negative: if the measure $\mu$ has connected support and the measure $\nu$ has disconnected support, then for any continuous map $f:P\to P$ the measure $f_\# \ …

A selection principle in measure theory

A Borel subset $B$ of the unit interval $\mathbb I=(0,1)$ is defined to be a density neighborhood of a set $A\subseteq\mathbb I$ if for every $a\in A$ we have $$\lim_{\varepsilon\to0}\frac{\lambda(B\c …

A selection principle in measure theory

Professor Wladyslaw Wilczynski kindly informed me that the answer to this problem is negative. Take any Lebesgue null dense $G_\delta$-set $A$ in the real line $\mathbb R$. Choose a countable dense su …

Fast algorithms for calculating the distance between measures on finite ultrametric spaces

Let $X$ be a finite ultrametric space and $P(X)$ be the space of probability measures on $X$ endowed with the Wasserstein-Kantorovich-Rubinstein metric (briefly WKR-metric) defined by the formula $$\r …

Continuous section of support - Is it possible to map compact sets to measures supported on ...

The affirmative answer to this question is given by the following theorem, proved by the technique of continuous selections. Theorem. For any compact metrizable space $X$ there exists a continuous …

A kaleidoscopic coloring of the plane

Problem. Is there a partition $\mathbb R^2=A\sqcup B$ of the Euclidean plane into two Lebesgue measurable sets such that for any disk $D$ of the unit radius we get $\lambda(A\cap D)=\lambda(B\cap …

Axioms of length

I would suggest the following axioms. The length in a metric space $X$ is a function $\ell:c(X)\to[0,+\infty]$ defined on the family $c(X)$ of all connected compact subsets of $X$ that satisfies the …

Nice representation of open sets in $\sigma$-algebras in certain circumstances

At least under MA+$\neg$CH the answer is negative. It is known that under MA+$\neg$CH the real line contains an uncountable set A such that every subset of A is Borel in A (moreover, it is of type $F_ …

Existence of a measurable map between metric spaces

For a compact space $Y$ the answer is affirmative, but in general case of Polish space $Y$ it is negative. Results yielding nice selections of relations $R$ are known in Descriptive Set Theory as Un …
