Does "All additive functions are linear" imply every set of reals is measurable?

658 Views Asked by At

Suppose we are working in ZF set theory without choice. An additive function is a function defined over the real line such that $f(x+y)=f(x)+f(y)$. It is known that if every set of reals is measurable, then every additive function is linear. Is the converse true in ZF?

No.

We know that "Every set of reals has the Baire property" will also have the same consequence, and that ZF+"Every set of reals has the Baire property" is actually a weaker(!) theory than ZF+"Every set of reals is Lebesgue measurable", as shown by Shelah.
