Measurable set on Manifold.












1












$begingroup$


In my textbook, we have the following definition,




If $M$ is a smooth manifold of dimension $n$. We say that a set $Asubset M$ is measurable if, for any chart $U$, the intersection $Acap U$ is a Lebesgue measurable set in $U$.




What really means this? A chart $U$ on $M$ is any couple $(U,varphi)$ where $U$ is an open subset of $M$ and $varphi$ is a homeomorphism of $U$ onto an open subset of $mathbb{R}^{n}$. So, if for any chart $U$, the intersection $Acap Uimplies varphi(Acap U)subsetmathbb{R}^{n}$ is Lesbesgue measurable set in $U$?



And, also says that




The family of all measurable sets in $M$ forms a $sigma-$álgebra.




But I don't see how this form an $sigma-$algebra, i.e., is the union of measurable set measurable?. Thanks!

    For a sigma-algebra one needs closure under countable unions.

    I write a chart as $c = (mathrm{U}, varphi, n)$ where $mathrm{U}$ is an open subset of the manifold and $n$ is the dimension of the chart. Then, what measurability means is that $varphi(mathrm{A} cap mathrm{U})$ is a Lebuesgue measurable set in $mathbf{R}^n.$

    @WillM. and these open $U$ (their collection) form a $sigma$-algebra correct? closed under complement and (countable) union.

    No. Because, in general, the complement of an open set is not open.
