The uniformity of the meagre ideal #
The definition nonM below uses the usual topology on the real numbers.
In particular it does not define this cardinal by means of slaloms.
This file also proves the elementary countable-family slalom avoidance
lemma. The category comparison used in the final proof is developed in
NonMRR.CategoryBound; the general Bartoszyński characterization is not assumed.
The least size of a nonmeagre subset of a topological space.
Equations
- NonMRR.nonMeagreCardinal X = sInf {κ : Cardinal.{?u.1} | ∃ (s : Set X), ¬IsMeagre s ∧ Cardinal.mk ↑s = κ}
Instances For
The uniformity of the meagre ideal on the real line, as in the manuscript.
Equations
Instances For
The corresponding cardinal for Baire space; no identification is postulated.
Equations
Instances For
Every set smaller than the uniformity of the meagre ideal is meagre.
In a nonempty Baire space, the defining minimum has an actual witness.
Countable sets are meagre in a perfect T₁ space.
The real uniformity is strictly larger than the countable cardinal.
