Borel σ-algebra


For any topological spaceMathworldPlanetmath X, the Borel sigma algebra of X is the σ–algebra generated by the open sets of X. In other words, the Borel sigma algebra is equal to the intersection of all sigma algebras 𝒜 of X having the property that every open set of X is an element of 𝒜.

An element of is called a Borel subset of X, or a Borel set.
