On sets with Baire property in topological spaces. (English) Zbl 1040.28001

Summary: H. Steinhaus [Fundam. Math. 1, 93-104 (1920; JFM 47.0179.02)] proved that if a set \(A\) in the line has a positive Lebesgue measure then its distance set contains an interval. He obtained even stronger forms of this result, which are concerned with mutual distances between points in an infinite sequence of sets. Similar theorems in the case we replace distance by mutual ratio were established by Bose-Majumdar. In the present paper, we endeavour to obtain some results related to sets with Baire property in locally compact topological spaces, particular cases of which yield the Baire category analogues of the above results of Steinhaus and their corresponding form for ratios by Bose-Majumdar.
