Exercise 3.5.2

Replace each with the word finite or countable, depending on which is more appropriate.

(a)
The _________ union of F σ sets is an F σ set.
(b)
The _________ intersection of F σ sets is an F σ set.
(c)
The _________ union of G δ sets is a G δ set.
(d)
The _________ intersection of G δ sets is a G δ set.

Answers

(a)
Countable, since two countable union can be written as a single countable union over the diagonal (see Exercise 1.2.4). Another way of seeing this is that we can form a bijection between N and N 2 , therefore a double infinite union can be written as a single infinite union.
(b)
Finite
(c)
Finite
(d)
Countable, by the same logic as in (a) we can write two countable intersections as a single countable intersection.
