Measuring Sets: Finite vs. Countably Infinite

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on the differences in measure theory between the closure of the Cartesian product of a finite set \( A \) and the closure of the Cartesian product of the image of \( A \) under a function \( F \). Specifically, it addresses the notation \( \overline{F(A \times A)} \) versus \( \overline{F(A) \times F(A)} \). The conversation also highlights the implications of transitioning from a finite set \( A \) to a countably infinite set, emphasizing the need for clarity in defining the function \( F \) and the closure operation.

I just started learning some basic measure theory.

Could someone explain the difference between \overline{F(A \times A)} and \overline{F(A) \times F(A)} where A is a finite set. Also, how would this be different in A was an countably infinite set?

Thanks!

It is nice you told us what A is. But you didn't say what F and the bar are.
