Abstract
A real-valued function f on R is called measurable if f-1 (U) is measurable for every open set U in R. f is said to have the property of Baire if f-1(U) has the property of Baire for every open set U in R. In either definition, U may be restricted to some base, or allowed to run over all Borel sets. The indicator function χ E of a set E ⊂ R is measurable if and only if E is measurable; χ E has the property of Baire if and only if E does.
