Kommentar
The aim of this course is to give an introduction to the study of the real line from the set-theoretical viewpoint. When dealing with the real numbers, it is a common practice in set theory to work with the Baire space, i.e., the set of infinite sequences of natural numbers endowed with the Baire topology. As a consequence, one can investigate questions concerning measure and category in terms of combinatorial properties of infinite sequences and trees. We will develop a careful study of the ideals of null and meager sets, as well as the regularity properties, such as the Baire property, the Lebesgue measurability and the perfect set property, and we will further see the connections with infinite games.
