The descriptive set theory of the Lebesgue density theorem

Published 17 May 2011 in math.LO | (1105.3355v1)

Abstract: Given an equivalence class $[A]$ in the measure algebra of the Cantor space, let $\hat\Phi([A])$ be the set of points having density 1 in $A$. Sets of the form $\hat\Phi([A])$ are called $\mathcal{T}$-regular. We establish several results about $\mathcal{T}$-regular sets. Among these, we show that $\mathcal{T}$-regular sets can have any complexity within $\Pi{0}_{3}$ (=$ \mathbf{F}{\sigma\delta}$), that is for any $\Pi{0}{3}$ subset $X$ of the Cantor space there is a $\mathcal{T}$-regular set that has the same topological complexity of $X$. Nevertheless, the generic $\mathcal{T}$-regular set is $\Pi{0}_{3}$-complete, meaning that the classes $[A]$ such that $\hat{\Phi}([A]) $ is $\Pi{0}_{3}$-complete form a comeagre subset of the measure algebra. We prove that this set is also dense in the sense of forcing, as $\mathcal{T}$-regular sets with empty interior turn out to be $\Pi{0}_{3}$-complete. Finally we show that the generic $[A]$ does not contain a $\Delta{0}_{2}$ set, i.e., a set which is in $\mathbf{F}\sigma\cap\mathbf{G}\delta$
