On Haar meager sets

Abstract

The notion of Haar null set was introduced by J. P. R. Christensen in 1973 and reintroduced in 1992 in the context of dynamical systems by Hunt, Sauer and Yorke. During the last twenty years this notion has been useful in studying exceptional sets in diverse areas. These include analysis, dynamical systems, group theory, and descriptive set theory. Inspired by these various results, we introduce the topological analogue of the notion of Haar null set. We call it Haar meager set. We prove some basic properties of this notion, state some open problems and suggest a possible line of investigation which may lead to the unification of these two notions in certain context.
