Metric space Cat. I and Cat. 2












1












$begingroup$


In Munroe1956, Introduction to Measure Theory and Integration, I found this exercise




Let $Omega$ be a complete metric space. Let $mu^*(E)=0$ if $E$ is of Cat. I, $mu^*(E)=1$ if E is of Cat. II. Show that $mu^*$ is an outer measure, and determine the class of measurable sets.




Are the Cat. I and Cat. II connected with the CAT(k) space concept or they mean something else?

    A Cat I set is a countable union of nowhere dense sets. A Cat II set is one which is not of Cat I.

No, Baire category has nothing to do with $text{CAT}(k)$.



Baire's terminology Category I , Category II is from 1899.



Notation $text{CAT}(k)$ is from 1987.



Alternate terminology from Bourbaki: nowhere dense = rare, Category I = meagre, Category II = nonmeagre.
