Naively Haar null sets in Polish groups (1508.02227v1)

Abstract: Let $(G,\cdot)$ be a Polish group. We say that a set $X \subset G$ is Haar null if there exists a universally measurable set $U \supset X$ and a Borel probability measure $\mu$ such that for every $g, h \in G$ we have $\mu(gUh)=0$. We call a set $X$ naively Haar null if there exists a Borel probability measure $\mu$ such that for every $g, h \in G$ we have $\mu(gXh)=0$. Generalizing a result of Elekes and Stepr=ans, which answers the first part of Problem FC from Fremlin's list, we prove that in every abelian Polish group there exists a naively Haar null set that is not Haar null.
