Theorem statement
If A is a class of subsets of Ω such that[1]
- ∀A,B∈A[A−B∈A] - that is closed under set-subtraction (or ∖-closed)
Then we have:
- A is ∩-closed
- A is σ-∪-closed⟹ A is σ-∩-closed
- Any countable union of sets in A can be expressed as a countable disjoint union of sets in A[Note 1]
[Expand]
Proof:
Notes
- Jump up ↑ Note that this doesn't require A to be closed under union, we can still talk about unions we just cannot know that the result of a union is in A
