The hierarchy of ω 1 - Borel sets 1 The hierarchy of ω 1 - Borel sets Arnold

We consider the ω1-Borel subsets of the reals in models of ZFC. This is the smallest family of sets containing the open subsets of the 2 and closed under ω1 intersections and ω1 unions. We show that Martin’s Axiom implies that the hierarchy of ω1-Borel sets has length ω2. We prove that in the Cohen real model the length of this hierarchy is at least ω1 but no more than ω1 + 1. Some authors have...

Events of Borel Sets, Construction of Borel Sets and Random Variables for Stochastic Finance

We consider special events of Borel sets with the aim to prove, that the set of the irrational numbers is an event of the Borel sets. The set of the natural numbers, the set of the integer numbers and the set of the rational numbers are countable, so we can use the literature [10] (pp. 78-81) as a basis for the similar construction of the proof. Next we prove, that different sets can construct ...

Borel Sets with Large Squares

For a cardinal μ we give a sufficient condition ⊕μ (involving ranks measuring existence of independent sets) for: ⊗μ: if a Borel set B ⊆ R × R contains a μ-square (i.e. a set of the form A × A, |A| = μ) then it contains a 20 -square and even a perfect square. And also for ⊗′μ: if ψ ∈ Lω1,ω has a model of cardinality μ then it has a model of cardinality continuum generated in a “nice”, “absolute...

Generating Borel Sets by Balls

It is proved that an arbitrary infinite-dimensional Banach space with basis admits an equivalent norm such that any Borel set can be obtained from balls by taking complements and countable disjoint unions. For reflexive spaces, the new norm can be chosen arbitrarily close to the initial norm.
