Abstract

We study the generalized Cantor space K2 and the generalized Baire space KK as analogues of the classical Cantor and Baire spaces. We equip KK with the topology where a basic neighborhood of a point η is the set {v : (∀j < i)(v(j) = η(j))}, where i < K. We define the concept of a strong measure zero set of K2. We prove for successor K = K<K that the ideal of strong measure zero sets of K2 is bK-additive, where bK is the size of the smallest unbounded family in KK, and that the generalized Borel conjecture for K2 is false. Moreover, for regular uncountable K, the family of subsets of K2 with the property of Baire is not closed under the Suslin operation. These results answer problems posed in [2].
