Universally Measurable Set

Universally Measurable Set

In mathematics, a subset of a Polish space is universally measurable if it is measurable with respect to every complete probability measure on that measures all Borel subsets of . In particular, a universally measurable set of reals is necessarily Lebesgue measurable (see #Finiteness condition) below.

Every analytic set is universally measurable. It follows from projective determinacy, which in turn follows from sufficient large cardinals, that every projective set is universally measurable.

Famous quotes containing the words universally and/or set:

    Everybody hates me because I’m so universally liked.
    Peter De Vries (b. 1910)

    When parents fail to set appropriate limits, children may feel more vulnerable at night: the aggressive urges that have not been “tamed” by day may be terrifying to a small child alone in the dark.
