The paper contains two results pointing to the lack of symmetry between measure and category. Assume CH. There exists a strongly meager subset of the Cantor set that can be mapped onto the Cantor set by a uniformly continuous function. (It…
If ZFC is consistent, then each of the following are consistent with ZFC + 2^{{aleph_0}}= aleph_2 : 1.) X subseteq R is of strong measure zero iff |X| <= aleph_1 + there is a generalized Sierpinski set. 2.) The union of aleph_1 many strong…
A set X subseteq R is strongly meager if for every measure zero set H, X+H not= R. Let SM denote the collection of strongly meager sets. We show that assuming CH, SM is not an ideal.
We prove that it is relatively consistent with $\mathrm{ZFC}$ that every strong measure zero subset of the real line is meager-additive while there are uncountable strong measure zero sets (i.e., Borel's conjecture fails). This answers a…
We develop a theory of \emph{sharp measure zero} sets that parallels Borel's \emph{strong measure zero}, and prove a theorem analogous to Galvin-Myscielski-Solovay Theorem, namely that a set of reals has sharp measure zero if and only if it…
We study the relationship between the sigma-ideal generated by closed measure zero sets and the ideals of null and meager sets. We show that the additivity of the ideal of closed measure zero sets is not bigger than covering for category.…
We will show that there is no ZFC example of a set distinguishing between universally null and perfectly meager sets.
We investigate the notion of strong measure zero sets in the context of the higher Cantor space $2^\kappa$ for $\kappa$ at least inaccessible. Using an iteration of perfect tree forcings, we give two proofs of the relative consistency of \[…
Effective versions of strong measure zero sets are developed for various levels of complexity and computability. It is shown that the sets can be equivalently defined using a generalization of supermartingales called odds supermartingales,…
We show that the set of the ground-model reals has strong measure zero (is strongly meager) after adding a single Cohen real (random real). As consequence we prove that the set of the ground-model reals has strong measure zero after adding…
A set $X \subseteq 2^\omega$ with positive measure contains a perfect subset. We study such perfect subsets from the viewpoint of computability and prove that these sets can have weak computational strength. Then we connect the existence of…
A set of reals A is called perfectly meager if A \cap P is meager in P, for every perfect set P. Marczewski asked if the product of perfectly meager sets is perfectly meager. In the paper it is shown that it is consistent that the answer to…
Let $\mathcal{SN}$ be the strong measure zero $\sigma$-ideal. We prove a result providing bounds for $\mathrm{cof}(\mathcal{SN})$ which implies Yorioka's characterization of the cofinality of the strong measure zero. In addition, we use…
We show that in doubling, geodesic metric measure spaces (including, for example, Euclidean space), sets of positive measure have a certain large-scale metric density property. As an application, we prove that a set of positive measure in…
Let $\mathcal{SN}$ be the $\sigma$-ideal of the strong measure zero sets of reals. We present general properties of forcing notions that allow to control of the additivity of $\mathcal{SN}$ after finite support iterations. This is applied…
For any infinite zero-density integer set M, we found a rigid measure-preserving transformation mixing along M by answering Bergelson's question. Gaussian and Poisson suspensions over infinite constructions are suggested as suitable…
We consider measures supported on sets of irrational numbers possessing many consecutive partial quotients satisfying a condition based on the previous partial quotients. We show that under mild assumptions, such sets will always support…
We show that (1) If ZF is consistent then the following theory is consistent "ZF + DC(omega_{1}) + Every set of reals has Baire property" and (2) If ZF is consistent then the following theory is consistent "ZFC + `every projective set of…
By the Galvin-Mycielski-Solovay theorem, a subset $X$ of the line has Borel's strong measure zero if and only if $M+X\neq\mathbb{R}$ for each meager set $M$. A set $X\subseteq\mathbb{R}$ is meager-additive if $M+X$ is meager for each meager…
We work in the realm of sets of reals. We prove that in the Miller model and in a model constructed by Goldstern-Judah-Shelah all universally meager sets have size at most $\omega_1$. Some relations between combinatorial covering properties…
