We give examples of a Vitali set and a Hamel basis which are Marczewski measurable and perfectly dense. The Vitali set example answers a question posed by Jack Brown. We also show there is a Marczewski null Hamel basis for the reals, although a Vitali set cannot be Marczewski null. The proof of the existence of a Marczewski null Hamel basis for the plane is easier than for the reals and we give it first. We show that there is no easy way to get a Marczewski null Hamel basis for the reals from one for the plane by showing that there is no one-to-one additive Borel map from the plane to the reals.
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.
