Abstract.A Borel subset of the unit square whose vertical and horizontal sections are two-point sets admits a natural group action. We exploit this to discuss some questions about Borel subsets of the unit square on which every function is a sum of functions of the coordinates. Connection with probability measures with prescribed marginals and some function algebra questions is discussed.Introduction. Given non-empty sets X and Y , a subset of X × Y is called a matching if it is the graph of a one-to-one map of X onto Y . The question as to which subsets S of X × Y contain a matching has been of combinatorial and set-theoretic interest [12]. By a theorem of D. König [11], if each section S x = {y ∈ Y : (x, y) ∈ S}, x ∈ X, and S y = {x ∈ X : (x, y) ∈ S}, y ∈ Y , consists of exactly n elements (n finite; for infinite n see
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
