Borel space (Definition)
Definition 0.1   A Borel space $ (X; \mathcal{B}(X))$ is defined as a topological space $ X$, together with a $ \sigma$-algebra $ \mathcal{B}(X)$ of subsets of $ X$, called Borel sets.

Note A subspace of a Borel space $ (X; \mathcal{B} (X))$ is a subset $ S \subset X$ endowed with the relative Borel structure, that is the $ \sigma$-algebra of all subsets of $ S$ of the form $ S \bigcap E$, where $ E$ is a Borel subset of $ X$.
