Is the interior of a Jordan curve a Borel set?

204 Views Asked by At

A Jordan curve is a continuous closed curve in the plane with no self-intersections. My question is, is the interior of a Jordan curve always a Borel set?

If not, is the interior of a convex Jordan curve at least a Borel set. I know that convex sets need not be Borel sets, but maybe the combination implies Borel.

If not, does anyone know of a counterexample?

  • The image of a Jordan curve is a compact set, so that its complement is open.

  • The interior of the Jordan curve is one of the two connected components of that complement, and therefore open as well.

  • Every open set is a Borel set.
