Following Davies, Elekes and Keleti, we study measured sets, i.e. Borel sets $B$ in $\mathbb{R}$ (or in a Polish group) for which there is a translation invariant Borel measure assigning positive and \sigma-finite measure to $B$. We…
We study a strengthening of the notion of a perfectly meager set. We say that that a subset $A$ of a perfect Polish space $X$ is countably perfectly meager in $X$, if for every sequence of perfect subsets $\{P_n: n \in {\mathbb N}\}$ of…
Given an ideal $\mathcal{I}$ on the nonnegative integers $\omega$ and a Polish space $X$, let $\mathscr{L}(\mathcal{I})$ be the family of subsets $S\subseteq X$ such that $S$ is the set of $\mathcal{I}$-limit points of some sequence taking…
We show that under some conditions on a family $\mathcal{A}\subset\bbi$ there exists a subfamily $\mathcal{A}_0\subset\mathcal{A}$ such that $\bigcup \mathcal{A}_0$ is nonmeasurable with respect to a fixed ideal $\bbi$ with Borel base of a…
We show that for a $\sigma $-ideal $\ci$ with a Borel base of subsets of an uncountable Polish space, if $\ca$ is (in several senses) a "regular" family of subsets from $\ci $ then there is a subfamily of $\ca$ whose union is completely…
We provide a comprehensive development of the basics of descriptive set theory for non-separable complete metric spaces whose weight is a singular cardinal $\lambda$ of countable confinality. Somewhat unexpectedly, the resulting theory is…
One of the classical results concerning differentiability of continuous functions states that the set $\mathcal{SD}$ of somewhere differentiable functions (i.e., functions which are differentiable at some point) is Haar-null in the space…
It is shown that if $G$ is an uncountable Polish group and $A\subseteq G$ is a universally measurable set such that $A^{-1}A$ is meager, then the set $T_l(A)=\{\mu\in P(G): \mu(gA)=0 \text{for all} g\in G\}$ is co-meager. In particular, if…
In the general theory of locally compact quantum groups, the notion of Haar measure (Haar weight) plays the most significant role. The aim of this paper is to carry out a careful analysis regarding Haar weight, in relation to general…
A set $E$ in a Banach space $X$ is compactivorous if for every compact set $K$ in $X$ there is a nonempty, (relatively) open subset of $K$ which can be translated into $E$. In a separable Banach space, this is a sufficient condition which…
In order to understand the structure of the "typical" element of a homeomorphism group, one has to study how large the conjugacy classes of the group are. When typical means generic in the sense of Baire category, this is well understood,…
In this paper we investigate the action of Polish groups (not necessary abelian) on an uncountable Polish spaces. We consider two main situations. First, when the orbits given by group action are small and the second when the family of…
For a subset $A$ of a Polish group $G$, we study the (almost) packing index $\ind_P(A)$ (resp. $\Ind_P(A)$) of $A$, equal to the supremum of cardinalities $|S|$ of subsets $S\subset G$ such that the family of shifts $\{xA\}_{x\in S}$ is…
The Steinhaus-Weil theorem that concerns us here is the simple, or classical, `interior-points' property -- that in a Polish topological group a non-negligible set B has the identity as an interior point of $BB^{-1}$. There are various…
An old problem asks whether every compact group has a Haar-nonmeasurable subgroup. A series of earlier results reduce the problem to infinite metrizable profinite groups. We provide a positive answer, assuming a weak, potentially provable,…
Inspired by Bartoszy\'nski's work on small sets, we introduce a new ideal defined by interval partitions on natural numbers and summable sequences of positive reals. Similarly, we present another ideal that relies on Bartoszy\'nski's and…
We study Borel ideals $I$ on $\mathbb{N}$ with the Fr\'echet property such its orthogonal $I^\perp$ is also Borel (where $A\in I^\perp$ iff $A\cap B$ is finite for all $B\in I$ and $I$ is Fr\'echet if $I=I^{\perp\perp}$). Let $\mathcal{B}$…
Let $X$ be an uncountable Polish space and let $\mathcal{I}$ be an ideal on $\omega$. A point $\eta \in X$ is an $\mathcal{I}$-limit point of a sequence $(x_n)$ taking values in $X$ if there exists a subsequence $(x_{k_n})$ convergent to…
Let $X$ be a Polish space and $K$ a separable compact subset of the first Baire class on $X$. For every sequence $\bs$ dense in $\kk$, the descriptive set-theoretic properties of the set \[ \lbf=\{L\in[\nn]: (f_n)_{n\in L} \text{is…
Gao and Jackson showed that any countable Borel equivalence relation (CBER) induced by a countable abelian Polish group is hyperfinite. This prompted Hjorth to ask if this is in fact true for all CBERs classifiable by (uncountable) abelian…
