\begin{proposition}
|
|
|
|
Let $X$ be second countable.
|
|
|
|
Then $|\cB(X)| \le \fc$.
|
|
|
|
% $\fc := 2^{\aleph_0}$
|
|
|
|
\end{proposition}
|
|
|
|
\begin{proof}
|
|
|
|
We use strong induction on $\xi < \omega_1$.
|
|
|
|
We have $\Sigma^0_1(X) \le \fc$
|
|
|
|
(for every element of the basis, we can decide
|
|
|
|
whether to use it in the union or not).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Suppose that $\forall \xi' < \xi.~|\Sigma^0_{\xi'}(X)| \le \fc$.
|
|
|
|
Then $|\Pi^0_{\xi'}(X)| \le \fc$.
|
|
|
|
We have that
|
|
|
|
\[
|
|
|
|
\Sigma^0_\xi(X) = \{\bigcup_{n} A_n : n \in \N, A_n \in \Pi^0_{\xi_n}(X), \xi_n < \xi\}.
|
|
|
|
\]
|
|
|
|
Hence $|\Sigma^0_\xi(X)| \le (\overbrace{\aleph_0}^{\mathclap{\{\xi': \xi' < \xi\} \text{ is countable~ ~ ~ ~}}} \cdot \underbrace{\fc}_{\mathclap{\text{inductive assumption}}})^{\overbrace{\aleph_0}^{\mathclap{\text{countable unions}}}}$.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We have
|
|
|
|
\[
|
|
|
|
\cB(X) = \bigcup_{\xi < \omega_1} \Sigma^0_\xi(X).
|
|
|
|
\]
|
|
|
|
Hence
|
|
|
|
\[
|
|
|
|
|\cB(X)| \le \omega_1 \cdot \fc = \fc.
|
|
|
|
\]
|
|
|
|
\end{proof}

\begin{proposition}[Closure properties]
|
|
|
|
Suppose that $X$ is metrizable.
|
|
|
|
Let $1 \le \xi < \omega_1$.
|
|
|
|
Then
|
|
|
|
\begin{enumerate}[(a)]
|
|
|
|
\item \begin{itemize}
|
|
|
|
\item $\Sigma^0_\xi(X)$ is closed under countable unions.
|
|
|
|
\item $\Pi^0_\xi(X)$ is closed under countable intersections.
|
|
|
|
\item $\Delta^0_\xi(X)$ is closed under complements,
|
|
|
|
countable unions and
|
|
|
|
countable intersections.
|
|
|
|
\end{itemize}
|
|
|
|
\item \begin{itemize}
|
|
|
|
\item $\Sigma^0_\xi(X)$ is closed under \emph{finite} intersections.
|
|
|
|
\item $\Pi^0_\xi(X)$ is closed under \emph{finite} unions.
|
|
|
|
\end{itemize}
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\end{enumerate}
|
|
|
|
\end{proposition}
|
|
|
|
\begin{proof}
|
|
|
|
\begin{enumerate}[(a)]
|
|
|
|
\item This follows directly from the definition.
|
|
|
|
Note that a countable intersection can be written
|
|
|
|
as a complement of the countable union of complements:
|
|
|
|
\[
|
|
|
|
\bigcap_{n} B_n = \left( \bigcup_{n} B_n^{c} \right)^{c}.
|
|
|
|
\]
|
|
|
|
\item If suffices to check this for $\Sigma^0_{\xi}(X)$.
|
|
|
|
Let $A = \bigcup_{n} A_n$ for $A_n \in \Pi^0_{\xi_n}(X)$
|
|
|
|
and $B = \bigcup_{m} B_m$ for $B_m \in \Pi^0_{\xi'_m}(X)$.
|
|
|
|
Then
|
|
|
|
\[
|
|
|
|
A \cap B = \bigcup_{n,m} \left( A_n \cap B_m \right)
|
|
|
|
\]
|
|
|
|
and $A_n \cap B_m \in \Pi^{0}_{\max(\xi_n, \xi'_m)}(X)$.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\end{enumerate}
|
|
|
|
\end{proof}
|
|
|
|
\begin{example}
|
|
|
|
Consider the cantor space $2^{\omega}$.
|
|
|
|
We have that $\Delta^0_1(2^{\omega})$
|
|
|
|
is not closed under countable unions
|
|
|
|
(countable unions yield all open sets, but there are open
|
|
|
|
sets that are not clopen).
|
|
|
|

\begin{theorem}%
|
|
|
|
\footnote{Whilst strikingly concise the verb ``\vocab[Clopenization™]{to clopenize}''
|
|
|
|
unfortunately seems to be non-standard vocabulary.
|
|
|
|
Our tutor repeatedly advised against using it in the final exam.
|
|
|
|
Contrary to popular belief
|
|
|
|
the very same tutor was \textit{not} the one first to introduce it,
|
|
|
|
as it would certainly be spelled ``to clopenise'' if that were the case.

\label{thm:clopenize}
|
|
|
|
Let $(X, \cT)$ be a Polish space.
|
|
|
|
For any Borel set $A \subseteq X$,
|
2024-01-12 01:31:12 +01:00
|
|
|
there is a finer Polish topology,%
|
2023-11-13 00:23:51 +01:00
|
|
|
\footnote{i.e.~$\cT_A \supseteq \cT$ and $(X, \cT_A)$ is Polish}
|
|
|
|
such that
|
|
|
|
\begin{itemize}
|
|
|
|
\item $A$ is clopen in $\cT_A$,
|
|
|
|
\item the Borel sets do not change,
|
|
|
|
i.e.~$\cB(X, \cT) = \cB(X, \cT_A)$.
|
|
|
|
\end{itemize}
|
|
|
|
\end{theorem}
|
|
|
|
\begin{corollary}[Perfect set property]
|
|
|
|
Let $(X, \cT)$ be Polish,
|
|
|
|
and let $B \subseteq X$ be Borel and uncountable.
|
|
|
|
Then there is an embedding
|
|
|
|
of the cantor space $2^{\omega}$
|
|
|
|
into $B$.
|
|
|
|
\end{corollary}
|
|
|
|
\begin{proof}
|
|
|
|
Pick $\cT_B \supset \cT$
|
|
|
|
such that $(X, \cT_B)$ is Polish,
|
|
|
|
$B$ is clopen in $\cT_B$ and
|
|
|
|
$\cB(X,\cT) = \cB(X, \cT_B)$.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Therefore $(\cB, \cT_B\defon{B})$ is Polish.
|
|
|
|
We know that there is an embedding
|
|
|
|
$f\colon 2^{\omega} \to (B, \cT_{B}\defon{B})$.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Consider $f\colon 2^{\omega} \to B \subseteq (X, \cT)$.
|
|
|
|
This is still continuous as $\cT \subseteq \cT_B$.
|
|
|
|
Since $2^{\omega}$ is compact, $f$ is an embedding.
|
|
|
|
%\todo{Think about this}
|
|
|
|
\end{proof}
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\begin{refproof}{thm:clopenize}
|
|
|
|
We show that
|
|
|
|
\begin{IEEEeqnarray*}{rCl}
|
|
|
|
A \coloneqq \{B \subseteq \cB(X, \cT)&:\exists & \cT_B \supseteq \cT .\\
|
|
|
|
&& (X, \cT_B) \text{ is Polish},\\
|
|
|
|
&& \cB(X, \cT) = \cB(X, \cT_B)\\
|
|
|
|
&& B \text{ is clopen in $\cT_B$}\\
|
|
|
|
\}
|
|
|
|
\end{IEEEeqnarray*}
|
|
|
|
is equal to the set of Borel sets.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The proof rests on two lemmata:
|
|
|
|
\begin{lemma}
|
|
|
|
\label{thm:clopenize:l1}
|
|
|
|
Let $(X,\cT)$ be a Polish space.
|
|
|
|
Then for any $F \overset{\text{closed}}{\subseteq} X$ (wrt. $\cT$)
|
|
|
|
there is $\cT_F \supseteq \cT$
|
|
|
|
such that $\cT_F$ is Polish,
|
|
|
|
$\cB(\cT) = \cB(\cT_F)$
|
|
|
|
and $F$ is clopen in $\cT_F$.
|
|
|
|
\end{lemma}
|
|
|
|
\begin{proof}
|
|
|
|
Consider $(F, \cT\defon{F})$ and $(X \setminus F, \cT\defon{X \setminus F})$.
|
|
|
|
Both are Polish spaces.
|
2024-01-12 01:44:05 +01:00
|
|
|
Take the coproduct%
|
|
|
|
\footnote{In the lecture, this was called the \vocab{topological sum}.}
|
|
|
|
$F \oplus (X \setminus F)$ of these spaces.
|
2023-11-13 00:23:51 +01:00
|
|
|
This space is Polish,
|
|
|
|
and the topology is generated by $\cT \cup \{F\}$,
|
|
|
|
hence we do not get any new Borel sets.
|
|
|
|
\end{proof}
|
|
|
|
So all closed sets are in $A$.
|
|
|
|
Furthermore $A$ is closed under complements,
|
|
|
|
since complements of clopen sets are clopen.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\begin{lemma}
|
|
|
|
\label{thm:clopenize:l2}
|
|
|
|
Let $(X, \cT)$ be Polish.
|
|
|
|
Let $\{\cT_n\}_{n < \omega}$
|
|
|
|
be Polish topologies
|
|
|
|
such that $\cT_n \supseteq \cT$
|
|
|
|
and $\cB(\cT_n) = \cB(\cT)$.
|
|
|
|
Then the topology $\cT_\infty$ generated by $\bigcup_{n} \cT_n$
|
|
|
|
is still Polish
|
|
|
|
and $\cB(\cT_\infty) = \cB(T)$.
|
|
|
|
\end{lemma}
|
|
|
|
\begin{proof}
|
|
|
|
We have that $\cT_\infty$ is the smallest
|
|
|
|
topology containing all $\cT_n$.
|
|
|
|
To get $\cT_\infty$
|
|
|
|
consider
|
|
|
|
\[
|
|
|
|
\cF \coloneqq \{A_1 \cap A_2 \cap \ldots \cap A_n : A_i \in \cT_i\}.
|
|
|
|
\]
|
|
|
|
Then
|
|
|
|
\[
|
|
|
|
\cT_\infty = \{\bigcup_{i<\omega} B_i : B_i \in \cF\}.
|
|
|
|
\]
|
|
|
|
(It suffices to take countable unions,
|
|
|
|
since we may assume that the $A_1, \ldots, A_n$ in the
|
|
|
|
definition of $\cF$ belong to
|
|
|
|
a countable basis of the respective $\cT_n$).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\todo{This proof will be finished in the next lecture}
|
|
|
|
\end{proof}
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We need to show that $A$ is closed under countable unions.
|
|
|
|
By \yaref{thm:clopenize:l2} there exists a topology
|
|
|
|
$\cT_\infty$ such that $A = \bigcup_{n < \omega} A_n$ is open in $\cT_\infty$
|
|
|
|
and $\cB(\cT_\infty) = \cB(\cT)$.
|
|
|
|
Applying \yaref{thm:clopenize:l1}
|
|
|
|
yields a topology $\cT_\infty'$ such that
|
|
|
|
$(X, \cT_\infty')$ is Polish,
|
|
|
|
$\cB(\cT_\infty') = \cB(\cT)$
|
|
|
|
and $A $ is clopen in $\cT_{\infty}'$.
|
|
|
|
