What is the smallest $\sigma$-algebra of reals that is closed under addition of sets?
What is the smallest $\sigma$-algebra $\Sigma\subseteq\mathcal P(\Bbb R)$ containing the open sets and such that if $A,B\in\Sigma$, then $$A+B=\{a+b\mid a\in A,b\in B\}\in\Sigma?$$
I know that neither ...

How complex is the orbit equivalence relation of $\mathrm{Iso}_0(X)\curvearrowright S_X$ for $X=L^p([0,1])$?
For a Banach space $X$ let $S_X$ denote its unit sphere and let $\mathrm{Iso}_0(X)$ denote the group of rotations of $X$, that is isometries fixing the origin. There is a natural continuous action $\...

Question about additive subgroups of the real line and the density topology
I am new studying additive subgroups of the real line, I would like to know if someone could give me an idea for the next question.
Let $m$ be the Lebesgue measure in $\mathbb{R}$. A measurable set $E\...

A connected Borel subgroup of the plane
It is known that the complex plane $\mathbb C$ contain dense connected (additive) subgroups with dense complement but each dense path-connected subgroup of $\mathbb C$ necessarily coincides with $\...

Is this concrete set generically Haar-null?
This question is related to this problem on MO about generically Haar-null sets in locally compact Polish groups but is more concrete.
First we recall the definition of a generically Haar-null set in ...

On generically Haar-null sets in the real line
First some definitions.
For a Polish space $X$ by $P(X)$ we denote the space of all $\sigma$-additive Borel probability measures on $X$. The space $P(X)$ carries a Polish topology generated by the ...

Is an Abelian topological group compact if it is complete and Bohr-compact?
A topological group $G$ will be called Bohr-compact if its Bohr topology (i.e., the largest precompact group topology) is compact and Hausdorff.
A topological group $G$ is Bohr-compact if it admits ...

Does each compact topological group admit a discontinuous homomorphism to a Polish group?
A compact topological group $G$ is called Van der Waerden if each homomorphism $h:G\to K$ to a compact topological group is continuous. By a classical result of Van der Waerden (1933) the groups $SO(...

Is there a topologizable group admitting only Raikov-complete group topologies?
Definition. A group $G$ is called complete (resp. non-topologizable) if each Hausdorff group topology on $G$ is Raikov-complete (resp. discrete). It is clear that each non-topologizable group is ...

Meager subgroups of compact groups
Suppose we have an infinite compact (Hausdorff) group $G$, and a subgroup $H\leq G$ which is meagre.
Can $H$ always be covered by a countable family of nowhere dense sets $H_n$ such that $H_n^2$ is ...
