Outer Measure and Topology
Suppose (X, d) is a metric space and φ an outer measure on X. If φ has the property that
whenever
then φ is called a metric outer measure.
Theorem. If φ is a metric outer measure on X, then every Borel subset of X is φ-measurable. (The Borel sets of X are the elements of the smallest σ-algebra generated by the open sets.)
