Linear order of the quotient generated from Vitali relation implies non-measurability of subset of reals












4












$begingroup$


Vitali relation, $a,binBbb R; asim biff a-binBbb Q$, is used to prove that there exists a non-measurable set of reals: we look at $A=Bbb R/sim$, from each $ain A$ we take $b_ain a$, then $bigcup_{ain A}{b_a}$ is the desired set.



This construction require choice function for the power set of $Bbb R$, and without some kind of axiom of choice there is no guarantee such function exists(it can be seen by, for example, Solovay's model).



I remember reading the following:




In $sf ZF$, $Bbb R/sim$ has a linear order implies the existence of of non-measurable subset of the reals.




This fact will also imply that compactness implies non-measurable set of reals, so my question is: what proof is there for the above theorem?

    For compactness there is a direct route. Or rather, more direct. It implies the Ultrafilter Theorem. Then show that any free ultrafilter must violate the 0-1 Law in $2^Bbb N$ with its standard measure. Since all Polish spaces are Borel isomorphic, this implies there is a non-measurable set of reals. Or, if for you "reals" is just $2^Bbb N$ (because all Polish spaces are Borel isomorphic), then it implies that immediately.

Taking help from @Noah comment and from @Wojowu:



Let's assume the contrary, that is, $mathbb R/sim$ is linearly ordered but every subset $mathbb R^2$ is measurable we may use the ergodicity:



Let $prec$ be the linear order of $mathbb R/sim$, and define $xtriangleleft yiff [x]_simprec[y]_sim$. Then either $triangleleft$ has measure $0$ or $triangleleft^c={(a,b)∈mathbb R^2mid [a]_simsucc[b]_sim}cup{(a,b)∈mathbb R^2mid [a]_sim=[b]_sim}$.



We may notice that ${(a,b)∈mathbb R^2mid [a]_sim=[b]_sim}=bigcup_{qinmathbb Q}{(x,y)∈mathbb R^2mid x-y=q}$, which is countable union of lines, so has measure $0$, and ${(a,b)∈mathbb R^2mid [a]_simsucc[b]_sim}$ has the same measure as $triangleleft$, so in both cases we get that the measure of $mathbb R^2$ is $0$, which is contradiction.

@AsafKaragila it is either null or co-null because it is closed under $Bbb Q^2$-translation, and by assumption it is measurable. And if $triangleleft$ has measure 0 then $μ(triangleleft∪triangleleft^c)=μ(triangleleft)+μ(triangleleft^c)=μ(triangleleft)+μ({(a,b)∈mathbb R^2mid [a]_simsucc[b]_sim}cup{(a,b)∈mathbb R^2mid [a]_sim=[b]_sim})=μ(triangleleft)+μ({(a,b)∈mathbb R^2mid [a]_simsucc[b]_sim})+μ({(a,b)∈mathbb R^2mid [a]_sim=[b]_sim})=μ(triangleleft)+μ({(a,b)∈mathbb R^2mid [a]_sim=[b]_sim})$, those 2 has the same measure and at least one of them is $0$

@Asaf the same measure alone is not enough, the ergodicity is crucial
