On Partitions of the Real Line into Continuum Many Thick Subsets

Abstract

Three classical constructions of Lebesgue nonmeasurable sets on the real line \(\mathbb{R}\) are envisaged from the point of view of the thickness of those sets. It is also shown, within \({\bf ZF}~\&~{\bf DC}\) theory, that the existence of a Lebesgue nonmeasurable subset of \(\mathbb{R}\) implies the existence of a partition of \(\mathbb{R}\) into continuum many thick sets.
