Abstract

In an ω-saturated nonstandard universe a cut is an initial segment of the hyperintegers which is closed under addition. Keisler and Leth in [KL] introduced, for each given cut U, a corresponding U-topology on the hyperintegers by letting O be U-open if for any x ϵ O there is a y greater than all the elements in U such that the interval [x − y,x + y] ⊆ O. Let U be a cut in a hyperfinite time line , which is a hyperfinite initial segment of the hyperintegers. A subset B of is called a U-Lusin set in if B is uncountable and for any Loeb-Borel U-meager subset X of , B ⋂ X is countable. Here a Loeb-Borel set is an element of the σ-algebra generated by all internal subsets of : In this paper we answer some questions of Keisler and Leth about the existence of U-Lusin sets by proving the following facts. (1) If U = x/N = {y ϵ : ∀n ϵ ℕ(y < x/n)} for some x ϵ , then there exists a U-Lusin set of power κ if and only if there exists a Lusin set of the reals of power κ. (2) If U ≠ x/N but the coinitiality of U is ω, then there are no U-Lusin sets if CH fails. (3) Under ZFC there exists a nonstandard universe in which U-Lusin sets exist for every cut U with uncountable cofinality and coinitiality. (4) In any ω2-saturated nonstandard universe there are no U-Lusin sets for all cuts U except U = x/N.
