ECTS credit allocation (and other scores): 6.00 Basic information on ECTS credits allocation principles:
  • the annual hourly workload of the student’s work required to achieve the expected learning outcomes for a given stage is 1500-1800h, corresponding to 60 ECTS;
  • the student’s weekly hourly workload is 45 h;
  • 1 ECTS point corresponds to 25-30 hours of student work needed to achieve the assumed learning outcomes;
  • weekly student workload necessary to achieve the assumed learning outcomes allows to obtain 1.5 ECTS;
  • work required to pass the course, which has been assigned 3 ECTS, constitutes 10% of the semester student load.

Requirements:

Set theory 1000-135TMN
Topology I 1000-113bTP1a

Prerequisites (description):

Completing the courses of Set Theory and Topology is required, as well as the knowledge of basics of measure theory from Mathematical Analysis II.

Short description:

The lecture will be devoted to set-theoretic properties of ideals of Lebesgue measure zero sets and Baire first category sets, as well as other related classes of small subsets of the real line.

Full description:

1. Real line and related Polish spaces, the Cantor and Baire spaces. Elements of descriptive set theory: borel and analytic sets. Perfect sets and the perfect set property for classes of subsets of Polish spaces.

2. Ideals of measure and category as c.c.c. ideals with Borel bases. Quotient algebras of Borel sets modulo an ideal, Sikorski's theorem. Baire property as a "category" version of measurability. The Kuratowski-Ulam Theorem as a counterpart of the Fubini Theorem. Orthogonality of ideals of measure and category. Erdős-Sierpiński duality theorem (under CH), non-existence of an additive Erdős-Sierpiński mapping.

3. Theorems and constructions regarding non-measurable sets or sets w/o the Baire property, e.g. The Four Poles Theorem. Nonmeasurable algebraic sums of sets from the ideal.

4. Cardinal characteristics of the ideals of measure and category and the inequalities between them (e.g. Rothberger's inequality). Cichoń's diagram.

5, Universal Measure Zero sets and their catgeory counterparts: Always of First Category Sets and Universally of First Category Sets. and their properties, e.g. the existence of uncountable sets with these properties.

6. Strong Measure Zero sets, their metric definition and the characterization by Galvin-Mycielski-Solovay. Their category counterparts - strongly meager and very meager sets. Sets with Rothberger's property and other related classes. Luzin and Sierpiński sets. Information about the Borel Conjecture and the Dual Borel Conjecture.
