Abstract
For which infinite cardinals is there a partition of the real line into precisely Borel sets? Hausdorff famously proved that there is a partition of into Borel sets. But other than this, we show that the spectrum of possible sizes of partitions of into Borel sets can be fairly arbitrary. For example, given any with , there is a forcing extension in which . We also look at the corresponding question for partitions of into closed sets. We show that, like with partitions into Borel sets, the set of all uncountable such that there is a partition of into precisely closed sets can be fairly arbitrary.
