Borel sigma algebra of the range of an injective measurable function consists of all images of the Borel sets of the domain
Let $(X, \mathcal{B}(X))$ and $(Y, \mathcal{B}(Y))$ be Polish spaces. Let $f:(X, \mathcal{B}(X))\rightarrow (Y, \mathcal{B}(Y))$ be $\mathcal{B}(X)$-$\mathcal{B}(Y)$-measurable and injective. ...

When compacts generate the Borel $\sigma$-algebra, is $X$ $\sigma$-compact?
Let $X$ be a Hausdorff topological space and let $\mathcal K$ denote the family of compact subsets of $X$. Assume that the Borel $\sigma$-algebra $\mathcal B(X)$ is generated by compact sets, i.e. $$ \...

On the uniqueness of $\sigma$-finite measures
As a corollary of the Sierpiński–Dynkin's $\pi$-$\lambda$ theorem, we have that lemma on the uniqueness of measures defined on a generating $\pi$-system: Lemma (Uniqueness of Measures, $\sigma$-...

Given $\epsilon > 0$, there exists an open interval $I$ such tha $m(E \cap I) > m(I) - \epsilon$: solution verification
I tried to solve two problems on my own. I had looked for other solutions to see if there is something similar but for each solution I had seen I had doubts. I kindly ask you to check my solutions and ...

Definition of analytic set in $\mathbb R^n$
A standard definition of an analytic set in $\mathbb R^n$ is a set $A$ such that there exists a Polish space $Y$ and a Borel set $B\subseteq \mathbb R^n\times Y$, such that $A = \pi(B)$, where $\pi:\...

If I have a measurable truncation function $f_M$ of $f$, how do I prove $f$ is measurable as well?
(Truncation). Let $f : \Omega \rightarrow \overline{\mathbb R}$ be a function. For a real number $M > 0$, we define the truncation of $f$ to be the function $f_M : \Omega \rightarrow \mathbb R$ ...

Can all sets with infinite Hausdorff measure in its dimension be broken down into sets with positive measure?
Let $X\subseteq\mathbb{R}^n$ be a Borel set. Suppose $\dim_{\text{H}}(\cdot)$ is the Hausdorff dimension and $\mathcal{H}^{\dim_{\text{H}}(\cdot)}(\cdot)$ is the Hausdorff measure in its dimension on ...

Is the set of all points with countable pre-image a Borel set?
Let $X,Y$ be Polish spaces and $f:X\to Y$ Borel measurable. Is $$Z = \{y\in f(X): f^{-1}(\{y\}) \text{ is countable}\}$$ a Borel set? If $Z=f(X)$ (i.e. all fibres are countable), then the result is ...

Fibres of continuous functions from $\mathbb R$ to $\mathbb R$ [closed]
I am looking for resources on fibres of continuous functions from $\mathbb R$ to $\mathbb R$. Here by fibres of a real valued function $f$, I mean the set $f^{-1}(y)$ for $y\in \mathbb R$. For context,...

$\Pi^1_1$ Uniformization by HYP (when total)
I think I'm being dumb but suppose that $P(f, g)$ for $f, g \in \omega^\omega$ is $\Pi^1_1$ and that $\forall f \exists g P(f, g)$. It should be true that for every $f$ there is a $g$ hyperarithmetic ...
