Abstract

Given an equivalence class [A][A] in the measure algebra of the Cantor space, let Φ^([A])\hat\Phi([A]) be the set of points having density 1 in AA. Sets of the form Φ^([A])\hat\Phi([A]) are called T\mathcal{T}-regular. We establish several results about T\mathcal{T}-regular sets. Among these, we show that T\mathcal{T}-regular sets can have any complexity within Π30\Pi^{0}_{3} (=Fσδ \mathbf{F}_{\sigma\delta}), that is for any Π30\Pi^{0}_{3} subset XX of the Cantor space there is a T\mathcal{T}-regular set that has the same topological complexity of XX. Nevertheless, the generic T\mathcal{T}-regular set is Π30\Pi^{0}_{3}-complete, meaning that the classes [A][A] such that Φ^([A])\hat{\Phi}([A]) is Π30\Pi^{0}_{3}-complete form a comeagre subset of the measure algebra. We prove that this set is also dense in the sense of forcing, as T\mathcal{T}-regular sets with empty interior turn out to be Π30\Pi^{0}_{3}-complete. Finally we show that the generic [A][A] does not contain a Δ20\Delta^{0}_{2} set, i.e., a set which is in FσGδ\mathbf{F}_\sigma\cap\mathbf{G}_\delta
