1. Show that Ao, the collection of all cylinders of all rank is a field.

A cylinder of rank n is a set of the form { w∈S^∞ : R1(w)R2(w)...Rn(w) ∈ H}
where H is a set of n-long sequences of elements of S. That is H is a subset of S^n

Example:
now think about a toss a coin question.
0(tail=fail) and 1(head = success)
here Ai is the event that ith toss is a head
A1= { w: R1(w)∈{1}}
A2= { w: R1(w)R2(w)∈{11,01}
A3= { w: R1(w)R2(w)R3(w)∈{111,101,011,001}
.
.
.so all the Ai are cylinder sets.

Now my question is let Ao be the collection of all cylinders of all rank, then is Ao a field ?

You're not likely to get a reply other than this one if you don't show some attempt at your problem.
 
I changed my question with more details.
I think to show this collection is a field, I have to show the complements of each elements is again in this set and the union of each element is also in this set. But I think this properties are for sigma field. Are they valid also for field ?

Or to show just that

A and B be two elements of this set then I have to show that A union B is also in this set and
when A is an element of this set its complement is also in this set

is enough for field ?
 
There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
