The ideal generated by $sigma$-nowhere dense sets

Jiling Cao and Sina Greenwood

Abstract

In this paper, we consider the ideal $mathscr I_sigma$ generated by all $sigma$-nowhere dense sets in a topological space. Properties of this ideal and its relations with the Volterra property are explored. We show that $mathscr I_sigma$ is compatible with the topology for any given space, an analogue to the Banach category theorem. Some applications of this result and the Banach category theorem are also given.
